Consent is the critical path, not the testing

Every district we work with underestimates consent. Whether your state uses opt-in or opt-out changes the workload enormously, and the return rate on paper forms sent home with students is reliably disappointing. Start consent three weeks before the first campus, use whatever electronic channel families already respond to, and expect to chase.

Sequencing campuses

We generally start with the largest campus while the process is freshest and the team has most capacity to absorb surprises, then work down. Elementary sites move faster per student than high schools, where timetables fragment the day. Small remote campuses are best paired so one trip covers both.

Make-up days are not optional

Absence on screening day runs at a meaningful fraction of any roster, and those students are disproportionately the ones with unmet health needs. A programme without a make-up day systematically misses them. Build one in per campus cluster from the start rather than treating it as an overrun.

What district health services gets back

Per-campus completion and referral counts, aggregate figures for state reporting, and the individual records in whatever format your student information system ingests. We will confirm the import format before the first day, because reformatting several thousand records afterwards is nobody's idea of a good week.
