Haldane Central School District is not equipped to conduct testing in the event of a large-scale outbreak. We have a standing relationship with the Putnam County Department of Health and in the event that testing is required, we will defer to the Putnam county DOH for any required or relevant information. This information will be disseminated through our communications platform.

Testing is readily available in our community. Students, staff or visitors requiring COVID-19 testing should contact their health provider, a local urgent care, federally qualified health center or visit the NYSDOH website to locate a nearby testing facility https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/find-test-site-near-you.

Safety Response Protocols

Contact Tracing

Haldane Central School District will notify the state and local health department immediately upon being informed of any positive COVID-19 diagnostic test result by an individual within school facilities or on school grounds, including students, faculty, staff, and visitors of Haldane.

To assist the local health department with tracing the transmission of COVID-19, Haldane has developed and maintained a plan to trace all contacts of exposed individuals in accordance with protocols, training, and tools provided through the New York State Contact Tracing Program.

Districts may assist with contact tracing by:

Keeping accurate attendance records of students and staff members
Ensuring student schedules are up to date
Keeping a visitor log that includes date and time address and phone number, and where in the school they visited
Assisting the local health departments in tracing all contacts of the individual in accordance with the protocol, training, and tools provided through the NYS Contact Tracing Program
Informing local health department of staff member testing positive regardless of county of residence.
For all contact tracing, the DOH will require the name, address, and phone number as well as the name and phone number of the guardian of a student.

If/when COVID-19 cases are discovered, in consultation with the local health department, Haldane will do the following:

Close or quarantine locations of potential exposure for 24 hours, if possible
Clean and disinfect locations as necessary
Provide DOH with information as required

Confidentiality must be maintained as required by federal and state laws and regulations.
