Each school within this district will maintain the following health records for each student:

            a.         The name of the family doctor;

 

            b.         The name of a contact person in case the parent/guardian cannot be reached in an emergency;

All employees of this district will protect the health of the public school students and will take reasonable measures to provide for the emergency care of any student that becomes ill or is injured on school property, during school hours, or at a school-sponsored event.

 

 

All district employees and volunteers will take all reasonable precautions to avoid direct contact with blood, blood products, or other infectious bodily fluids of any person.

 

Whenever district employees or volunteers are required to assist ill or injured persons, the following procedures must be followed to minimize direct contact with blood or bodily fluids:

 

1.         Appropriate barrier precautions will be used when contact with blood or other bodily fluids is anticipated. Gloves will be

            worn whenever blood and bodily fluids, mucous membranes, or non-intact skin must be touched. Gloves will also be

            worn when handling items or surfaces soiled with blood or bodily fluids. Gloves are for a single use and then shall be

            discarded consistent with universal precautions.

 

2.         Hand and other skin surfaces will be washed with soap and water immediately and thoroughly whenever contaminated

            with blood or other bodily fluids.

 

3.         Extra precautions will be taken to prevent injuries caused by needles or other sharp instruments or devices and for

            disposal of such items.

 

4.         Soiled clothing, uniforms, and linen will be handled as little as possible so as to prevent microbial contamination of air

            and other persons. Contaminated clothing and cloth materials will be washed separately using hot water and detergent.

            Dry cleaning will also inactivate known pathogens.

 

5.         Surfaces that are contaminated with blood will be decontaminated with appropriate products made for this purpose. Care

            should be taken to avoid contaminating the solution or the container of the solution. Sufficient contact time (three (3) to

            five (5) minutes) should be allowed to ensure surfaces are adequately disinfected.
