Summary of Key Points, Issues, Conclusions:
The County Office of Education provides education-related services that can be handled most effectively and economically on a regional basis rather than by each of the county's 252 schools or 18 school districts. These services are provided at the request of districts or to meet state mandates.
This information in the Pandemic Flu School Action Kit binder is designed to provide schools with practical tools for staff to prepare for a pandemic flu outbreak. A great deal of planning for pandemic flu is underway at the federal, state and local level. The tools in this binder will help schools and parents begin their preparations.
The website also contains information on processes, surveillance/reporting, parent information, media material, public information, and other resources and links.
