Screening

Question: "Will students and staff have to go through health screening?"
Posted on 08/12/2020
Answer: Each school building will identify a remote and secluded room, no smaller than 100 square feet to serve as an isolation area.  This room will be outfitted with appropriate PPE including gowns, face shields, N95 Masks, gloves, sanitizing wipes, portable two-way radios, and log sheets..

Each building will have an identified and trained staff person to serve as the “quarantine officer”.  These duties will take precedence over any other responsibilities and therefore this individual must have the flexibility to leave their regular assignment at a moment’s notice.
From the time of identification of potential infection, the student will not be left unattended by the quarantine officer and a log sheet of activity will be maintained at 5-minute intervals until the student or staff member is safely removed from the building.

The health department will contact the district in all positive cases to assist in contact tracing and notification of vulnerable individuals.

Staff should conduct daily self-examinations, including a temperature check, prior to coming to work. If they exhibit any respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms, or have a temperature of 100.4 or greater, they should stay home.
