"At Home COVID Testing Kit" could be sent home with your students.

Governor Whitmer launched a new pilot program called "MI Backpack Home Test."

It would provide an at-home COVID-19 antigen test and allow for convenient testing in your own home.

The Governor says it is a way to help protect students, parents, and school staff.

The initial program has started in Charlotte Public Schools. Additional school districts, including Benton Harbor and Battle Creek Public Schools, will be added into the pilot program and they will receive test kits after Thanksgiving break.
