The health and safety of our students is top priority at Oklahoma City Public Schools.
We are teaching life skills that keep us healthy, such as washing our hands. Daily touch surfaces, such as desk tops, door knobs, and backs of chairs, are wiped down with disinfectant, and all restrooms are supplied with soap. As a district and as a nation, the H1N1 flu virus a few years ago caused the Center of Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, to update procedures that led to facilities updating communicable disease policies.
These very policies are in place to date, and Oklahoma City Public Schools complies at every level. From cleaning of the facilities to the monitoring of individual students' health on the campus level, everyone is actively involved. Even though these diseases are spread to others in different ways, the prevention is still the same--diligence and everyone's involvement. Oklahoma City Public Schools remains directly in contact with the local and state departments of health to stay current with the latest disease control and reporting measures.
