JCPS mandates weekly COVID-19 tests for all extracurricular activities

Beginning Monday, Nov. 1 all Jefferson County Public School (JCPS) students must be tested weekly for COVID-19 in order to participate in extracurricular activities, regardless of vaccination status.

The Louisville school district, the largest in the state of Kentucky, is launching the ‘Test to Play‘ program to minimize the impact of quarantining and curb the transmission of COVID-19 among students in high contact activities. The testing requirements encompass all sports and club activities. Tests are free and will be administered during school at all elementary schools. Middle and high schools must take their tests after school at their school’s drive-though sites.
