H1N1 - Policy Guidance, Toolkit and Press Release
August 20, 2009
As new
information comes in on H1N1, we will continue to pass it along to
you. Policy guidance is now available from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention regarding the H1N1 virus, intended
for K-12 schools, teachers, administrators, and parents. You will
find it here: http://www.flu.gov/plan/school/schoolguidance.html
<http://www.flu.gov/plan/school/schoolguidance.html>
. (Because the guidance may change as the situation changes, we’re
sharing the URL where the guidance will always live on flu.gov,
rather than a static attachment.)
Additionally, CDC has also created a health-focused toolkit for
teachers and parents, located here: http://www.flu.gov/plan/school/toolkit.html

.
Finally, here is a link the press release summarizing a joint
announcement on Aug. 7 from Secretaries Duncan (ED), Sebelius
(HHS), and Napolitano (DHS): http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2009/08/08072009.html
