POLICY NORTH BERGEN BOARD OF EDUCATION ADMINISTRATION 1648.05 1 Covid Travel Policy November 18 1648.05 COVID TRAVEL POLICY FOR EMPLOYEES, STUDENTS,VENDORS AND VISITORS
Due to COVID-19, the New Jersey Department of Health has issued travel requirements following the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Protection (CDC) guidelines. The CDC Guidelines for domestic travel are at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/travel-during covid19.html; and for international travel at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/international-travel during-covid19.html. Following consultation and coordination with the North Bergen Board of Health, the Board believes it is in the interest of the health, safety, and welfare of Board employees, students, vendors and visitors to not only follow the current NJDOH and CDC travel guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but also to make certain recommendations mandatory. As a result, the Board strongly discourages non-essential interstate and international travel at this time. The Board Policy (1) generally aligns with the bulletins issued by New Jersey and the CDC respecting both interstate and international travel and vaccinated and unvaccinated travelers, (2) makes certain quarantine and isolation guidelines mandatory, and (3) sets forth that time off for quarantine or isolation will be charged against employees’ sick, vacation and other leave time.
This Policy applies to all Board employees, students, vendors and visitors (“persons”) returning from any U.S. state or territory, except New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. The policy also applies to all persons returning from any international jurisdiction. III. Definitions COVID-19 shall mean an infectious disease caused by the coronavirus. Isolation means to separate sick people with a quarantinable communicable disease from people who are not sick. Quarantine means to separate and restrict the movement of people who were exposed to a contagious disease to see if they become sick. ♥ Copyright 2020 • Strauss Esmay Associates, LLP • 1886 Hinds Road • Suite 1 • Toms River, NJ 08753-8199 • 732-255-1500 POLICY Test shall mean a viral test for COVID 19, not an antibody test. IV. Policy
Except where prior vaccination applies as per section 4 below, persons who travel to any U.S. state or territory, except New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Delaware,

before you board your flight. The timing of this test depends on your vaccination status and age.
can’t get tested, or if the results are delayed, they will be required to stay home and self-quarantine for 10 days after travel. ♥ Copyright 2020 • Strauss Esmay Associates, LLP • 1886 Hinds Road • Suite 1 • Toms River, NJ 08753-8199 • 732-255-1500 POLICY
Persons who have tested positive for COVID-19 in the 3 months prior to the above recommended testing or quarantining, and recovered, do not need to quarantine or get tested again during that three-month period as long as they do not develop new symptoms. If new symptoms develop after travel, they are required to follow instructions for what to do if they are sick. This provision may not apply to CDC required testing to board planes for international travel, and they should review specific CDC international flight requirements.
Persons may return to work or school or visit the district after international travel, without quarantining as set forth above, provided that (1) they have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 with the required number of doses of an FDA-approved vaccine, and (2) 14 days have elapsed since their last vaccine dose prior to their return from travel, (3) they have gotten tested with a viral test 3-5 days after travel and (4) they are symptom free. Persons who are fully vaccinated do not need to be tested or quarantine following domestic travel, but they should monitor for symptoms.
In addition to the use of vacation or personal days for the duration of their travel, employees will also be required to use sick, vacation and other accumulated leave for any quarantine or isolation required with regard to travel. Where applicable, the Board will also trigger the use of unpaid leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and New Jersey Family Leave Act (FLA).
Any Board employees seeking to use vacation days for any travel to U.S. states or territories beyond New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, or internationally, are required to provide the destination and get written approval from their supervisor. The Board reserves the right to deny the vacation request due to the travel risk associated with the destination. In addition, the Board may deny the vacation request where the employee does not have sufficient ♥ Copyright 2020 • Strauss Esmay Associates, LLP • 1886 Hinds Road • Suite 1 • Toms River, NJ 08753-8199 • 732-255-1500 POLICY accumulated leave to cover the post travel required quarantine or potential isolation. The Board may also deny the vacation request where the total duration of the time off, including the required quarantine or potential isolation, will negatively impact Board operations.
The Board reserves the right to request any documentation and/or records to effectively administer this Policy. The Board reserves the right to take any necessary actions to verify that persons who quarantine or isolate are following all CDC, New Jersey Department of Health recommendations and guidelines for effective quarantine and isolation.
Prior to any travel, persons should review current Board policy requirements for travel, as posted on the district website. Adopted: 21 October 2020 Revised: 10 June 2021, 25 August 2021, 18 November 2021
