INFECTIOUS DISEASE PREVENTION

The School Board recognizes its responsibility to consistently take precautions to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.  A comprehensive approach to disease prevention requires the cooperation of the home and the community. 

All students and employees shall be informed of the universal precautions to be used whenever anyone is exposed to blood or other body fluids through injury or accident.  Science laboratory instruction shall be designed to protect students from contact with body fluids and with contaminated needles, sharps and other objects.
