- The second Grantee is the Redwood City School District for its proposal to SNOCF for assistance with the purchase of a non-contact infrared thermometer for each school as part of the District's "Early Detection Program" to safeguard the health of students and mitigate the spread of illness and absenteeism due to the Covid-19 virus and other communicable diseases after the anticipated Fall re-opening of district schools.
