Why this requirement exists
School-employee TB mandates are state statutes, not federal — historically widespread, currently shrinking as low-incidence states switch to risk-assessment models. California, Texas, and several others retain explicit requirements for new hires.
Order the required tests
Direct-access laboratory testing — no doctor visit needed. Results arrive as forwardable PDFs that satisfy most compliance offices.
