I want to point out that at least one of our schools in Santa Barbara has put out a parent letter based on faulty information, because they used residential-college-based sources. Residential colleges have very different isolation and treatment procedures than a day program like ours.We have a very simple and straightforward plan because all we can do is simple and straightforward:
- At ALL our town meetings, I emphasize to the students correct hand washing, sneezing and coughing procedures.
- We have increased the use of hand sanitizer and hand wipes for frequent surface cleaning (computer keyboards, etc) in all classrooms.
- Sick kids stay home. We have the best gatekeeper in the world in Lilli and I can’t emphasize enough how she and all our faculty who already have been flu inserviced will serve to reduce our number of flu cases.
- Lynne is emphasizing hand washing and the use of hand sanitizer before any food interaction. New procedures have been implemented which eliminate communal food sources (e.g. Chip bowl, etc.).
- Our Flu Plan letter should go out to parents this week.
