The City of Fitchburg Board of Health hereby mandates all Fitchburg Public Schools students and staff participating in extracurricular activities, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, be tested for COVID-19 on a weekly basis or as necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Extra-curricular activities shall include any function where students and staff gather where there is a potential of the spread of COVID-19. Examples of extra-curricular activities are sporting events, plays, band, the 21st Century After School Program, and other activities where the potential for students and staff to gather in non-academic settings is present.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has partnered with CIC Health to provide free COVID-19 testing to students, teachers, and staff.
