Message to Fillmore Unified regarding H1N1 (Swine) Flu
By Anonymous — Wednesday, May 6th, 2009
Greetings and Good News What this means locally: we have been informed that our County Public Health Officer (Dr. Robert Levin) has contacted the Hueneme and Conejo Valley school districts and lifted the student dismissal directive for their affected sites. We also anticipate receiving formal confirmation from Dr. Levin that no other schools will require the dismissal of students should a student or staff member become infected. HOWEVER, we strongly recommend that you and appropriate staff visit the CDC website at www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/k12_dismissal.htm and follow the recommendations listed on their webpage, including the need to quarantine any students showing up at school with flulike symptoms. Also, please continue all other safety practices recommended by our Public Health Dept. such relative to personal hygiene, etc. We will keep you posted with other bulletins/updates as we receive them. Regards, -Stan |
