Within weeks, teachers said they were served with lawsuits demanding $10,000 each for not paying the testing invoices. Praxis says in court filings that the employees signed paperwork agreeing they would provide the checks to the company before being tested. Then Praxis mailed out invoices demanding that Hamilton district employees pony up the unpaid amounts within 30 days of receiving the bills otherwise they’d be taken to court.
One district employee said workers at the testing center began handing out unofficial-looking bills to teachers each time they went to get swabbed. Staffers said they became suspicious of Praxis when they learned their insurance was billed hundreds of dollars at a time for “doctor visits” and “physical therapy” sessions rather than COVID-19 screening visits that took minutes to complete. Teachers said they were told not to sign over checks, worth between $500 to $5,000 made out to individual district employees, to Praxis while Horizon investigated the company’s billing discrepancies. Rocco said out-of-network provider Praxis was selected because it provided “timely testing services and results” for the 23-school district with nearly 12,000 students.Īnd, he said, no one in the district was connected to the company, as many teachers speculated. The site eventually moved indoors to a space that was too small to safely handle testing, the suit claims. Our experience has been wonderful (especially the kindergarten teachers (Bitner and Butler).they are the best!! It's truly been a great experience and my kids LOVE school.Contributed PhotoHamilton Superintendent of Schools Scott Rocco I'm very aware of my kids' safety and well being in any school they attend, and I totally trust every adult who works at Mercerville. They are very interested in building good character with the students, and things like bullying are an absolute NO. They do things the way that they were done when I was a kid and I love that. Byrne truly care about our children (he says good morning to every kid by name at drop off.never fails). The building itself is very old, but it fits the personality of the school staff and overall feeling you get as a parent. They have all of the modern tech (smart boards etc) but with an "old school" feel. My two kids have attended Mercerville for 3 years now and although they are still young and we have a few years left, I can already say that I LOVE this school.
