Huron Valley Schools Prepares for Flu Season
By Janet Roberts, APR
Director of Community Relations & Fund Development |
|
We have all heard the precautions regarding the Novel H1N1 (swine flu) virus. Children and young adults are most susceptible to this virus because they have not developed the immunity that most adults possess. As our students, and in turn our staff, are most likely to contract the H1N1 virus, Huron Valley Schools is taking very seriously our role in keeping our students and staff healthy.
The District will follow the Oakland County Health Department and Centers for Disease Control guidelines for schools as they relate to the H1N1 flu. One specific guideline we will follow is to require students and staff exhibiting flu-like symptoms or having a fever to stay home until they are fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medicines.
