• Contact Tracing: Equality will work with the NYS Department of Health and local department of health centers to alert them when a student or staff member tests positive for COVID-19.  Equality will follow protocols as set forth at NYS Contact Tracing.  Equality commits to maintaining accurate student and staff records (including updated contact information) to assist with any necessary contact tracing.
