Municipal wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) programs for SARS-CoV-2 were valuable tools for epidemiological modelling and informing COVID-19 health policy during the pandemic. We conducted a near to source study to assess the capacity and performance of SARS-CoV-2 WBS programs in schools relative to municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). Only 4/17 schools screened had plumbing systems that were amenable to WBS. From December 2020 – March 2021 composite wastewater collected 2X/week from four schools and three municipal WWTP were assessed for SARS-CoV-2 and fecal biomarkers. Schools had lower rates of successful sample collection relative to WWTP (44.7% vs 100%, p
