Emily, that is a question for me.  The permanent health record is still
considered the "paper" form in statute.  We will be looking at how we
proceed in the future.  As I review what is happening in the health
field, doctor's offices that are all EMR/EHR (electronic medical
record/electronic health record), they still maintain a paper file.  We
will continue to do the same.  However, you will be able to print off
sheets from the IC program to insert into the permanent health record.

Thanks for the question.

Infinite Campus will be available to all schools this fall and will be
the only tool used to report student attendance/absence etc.  IC is FREE
and will not cost school administrative units any addition monies.  We
continue to work to make the health module a useful tool for school
nurses and expect the "Maine" version to be live in August.  Trainings
for school nurses will happen next fall.

Thank you for the question.

That's helpful in answering, but I still say we need to be diligent in
printing off inconsequental information that is already on/in the paper
file.  I've had a lot of duplication come through the diifferent
districts, and due to lack of space, cleaned out multiple pages in
records.  I also will be interested in how the screenings are set up,
seeing some schools have to print a sheet for each year of testing. 
That's a "wicked waste of Paper and space".  Ours happens to be set up on
one page for 13 years, and hope the IC is the same. 
 Cheers to us all!   We've nearly made it through another year in
hopefullly relatively unscathed condition.

Nancy-Thanks for the response.  I apologize if I am the only one not quite
clear on this-Infinite Campus is being offered free but is optional for
school nurses to use if their school district is using some other
system-Correct?  If so, then nurses only need to go to the training if
they are interested in using Infinite Campus?  I appreciate the
clarification.      Donna D'Iorio

Message-ID: <fc.004c5800014806a23b9aca0032a539f4.148391a@msad71.net>

After inquiring if any other school nurses had any questions about the new
504 regs, I recieved many e-mails from nurses who are as confused as I am.
 I thought I would share my view on it - please feel free to jump in and
correct/add suggestions.  After listening to Eric Herlan present the 504
changes and talking with him for a couple of minutes after our session,
this is my take on it.
 I have approx. 60 students that are on my Health Alert List.  These are
students who have health issues (asthma, ADHD, IBS) that the staff needs
to be aware of.  44 of these students do not have an IHP because their
health issues do not impact their learning.  16 do have an IHP or 504. 
Under the expanded 504 eligibility standards, all of these students are
now automatically eligible for 504 protection because they "have a
physical or mental impairment which substantially limits a major life
activity. A major life activity includes breathing, walking, talking,
learning .......".  But even though all of these students are eligible, it
doesn't mean that they need accommodations.  The problem for us is setting
up internal systems for ourselves that covers the legal issues of
notification/documentation etc. that does not cause a significant amount
of aditional work. 
School nurses need to:  1. Notify parents that the student is eligible.(as
well as provide Parental   Rights/Safeguards)     
                                       2. Document that the nurse had a
"meeting" (?with teacher/  guidance/principal)    to "review or think"
about whether that student                                                
  needed any accommodations.
                                       3. Students with IHP's now will
have IHP/504
Our district is just starting to try to figure out how to streamline this
process.  One idea (that I have) is using the health information forms
that each school has parents fill out at the beginning of every school
year.  The parents provide a health history, emergency contacts,
physicians numbers, medications etc. on the front.  I wonder if we could
use the back to provide the new, expanded definiton of the 504 regs. along
with Parent/Student Rights and Safeguards.  It would be great if this
could serve as notification of eligibility.  Documentation of a 
'meeting'with guidance to evaluate if the students now eligible under 504
need accomodations- the majority will be 'NO need for accommodations'-this
could be one sentence with a date, signatures -in the chart.  Students who
do need accommodations would have a plan written.  I think this will cover
us.
Sorry for the lengthy note.  If I have said anything in error, let me
know.  Any other ideas, send to the list serv -I am still figuring this
stuff out as are the other nurses in MSAD 71.

Donna, the students you identify are eligible for a 504 determination
process.  You are correct in they are NOT automatically eligible for
504.  Eligibility is not an automatic determination.  The three
questions asked in the 504 process must be answered YES.  Local school
districts need to develop a policy for notifying parents of their rights
under 504 and then having some "formal" determination process.  The IHP
can serve as the accommodation plan of the 504.  A separate plan does
not need to be created unless the IHP does not cover all the
accommodations.

Thanks for your post.

After inquiring if any other school nurses had any questions about the
new
504 regs, I recieved many e-mails from nurses who are as confused as I
am.
 I thought I would share my view on it - please feel free to jump in and
correct/add suggestions.  After listening to Eric Herlan present the 504
changes and talking with him for a couple of minutes after our session,
this is my take on it.
 I have approx. 60 students that are on my Health Alert List.  These are
students who have health issues (asthma, ADHD, IBS) that the staff needs
to be aware of.  44 of these students do not have an IHP because their
health issues do not impact their learning.  16 do have an IHP or 504. 
Under the expanded 504 eligibility standards, all of these students are
now automatically eligible for 504 protection because they "have a
physical or mental impairment which substantially limits a major life
activity. A major life activity includes breathing, walking, talking,
learning .......".  But even though all of these students are eligible,
it
doesn't mean that they need accommodations.  The problem for us is
setting
up internal systems for ourselves that covers the legal issues of
notification/documentation etc. that does not cause a significant amount
of aditional work. 
School nurses need to:  1. Notify parents that the student is
eligible.(as
well as provide Parental   Rights/Safeguards)     
                                       2. Document that the nurse had a
"meeting" (?with teacher/  guidance/principal)    to "review or think"
about whether that student

  needed any accommodations.
                                       3. Students with IHP's now will
have IHP/504
Our district is just starting to try to figure out how to streamline
this
process.  One idea (that I have) is using the health information forms
that each school has parents fill out at the beginning of every school
year.  The parents provide a health history, emergency contacts,
physicians numbers, medications etc. on the front.  I wonder if we could
use the back to provide the new, expanded definiton of the 504 regs.
along
with Parent/Student Rights and Safeguards.  It would be great if this
could serve as notification of eligibility.  Documentation of a 
'meeting'with guidance to evaluate if the students now eligible under
504
need accomodations- the majority will be 'NO need for
accommodations'-this
could be one sentence with a date, signatures -in the chart.  Students
who
do need accommodations would have a plan written.  I think this will
cover
us.
Sorry for the lengthy note.  If I have said anything in error, let me
know.  Any other ideas, send to the list serv -I am still figuring this
stuff out as are the other nurses in MSAD 71.

Perhaps one of you in Region III can help me.

Do any of you have a corrective lens participating provider list for Maine Care insured children? MaineCare will pay for the glasses if  a provider who takes MaineCare is found!

I have two students with their new corrective lens Rx .  So far no luck.

I am hoping that there is a list of one for central and midcoast Maine.  No luck on line and I am not eager to dial all the advertisers in the yellow pages.  

Please and Thank you!

Thank you to all who added names and comments to the Maine Care corrective lens provider list.  I am attaching it in this document.  Also I have cut and pasted it, mindful that not every computer out there can read all formats. The list begins with Brunswick and travels up the midcoast to Belfast, on to Bangor, then Waterville/Skowhegan and over to Norway.

MAINE CARE CORRECTIVE LENS PROVIDERS

It is interesting that apparently MaineCare does not release such information to non MaineCare subscribers.  

Call the Maine Care number on the back of the card and they will be able to tell you who the providers are in the area.  Maine Care Member Services 1.800.977.6740

Lions Club does not service Bath area.

WalMart- some money available each fall.

Lenscrafters @ Bangor Mall has a program called Gift of Sight.  It provided glasses free of charge to any student.  Call them Phone number  262-4391 and there is a form that needs to be completed with tax number of the school and student's name and then they are set to get free glasses.  

Maine Eye Care, Waterville
Most of the optometric offices Waterville accept MaineCare.  The frame selection is limited, but  good
selection.  The dispensing of contact lenses  approved for occular pathology only under 21 yrs.

Attached are a summary of the responses to my question about screening for color-blindness. As I result I am planning to 
1. specifically ask if there is a family history at K screening
2. routinely screen kids with my rolling E slides at Pre or K if they are able to do this. 
3. Explore borrow or purchase options in the future for kids unable to complete rolling E.

Good Morning
I am wondering if you all document medications dispensed to students in 
a computer health log AND an MAR (Medical Administration Record). I have 
a notebook where I initial in a med admin log for all students and then 
at the end of the day I enter them all into the health log. These are my 
prescribed daily meds that I pass. I can't imagine abandoning the MAR 
but was just curious as to what everyone else does.
Thanks,

Message-ID: <49DCCF56.7020503@raymondmaine.org>

Of course there is some variation out there:  Basically though, most 
nurses are documenting in an MAR daily. Some are then putting that info 
into their computer log daily, but most are not. Most are making note in 
the computer at the beginning of the year or when a med is prescribed 
for the student, and then the MAR goes into the chart at the end of the 
school year.
Hope that makes sense!

Good Morning and Happy Monday!

Just wanted to let you all know of a great resource I found on CDC. You 
can order great materials for free on head injuries and concussions. The 
materials are aimed at healthcare providers, parents and school coaches: 
handouts, wallet and palm cards, clipboards, dvds, posters - LOTs of 
good stuff. The campaign is called Heads Up. I just went on the website 
and ordered everything and it came in a week.
kidshealth.org also has some helpful parent educational materials and I 
like the TeensHealth section.

If you want to hear or read the transcript of a great piece that aired 
on NPR in 2007 go to 
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9002473 When I 
first heard it, it really caught my attention.

Please refer your questions about Infinite Campus to the Department of
Education, School Nurse Consultant.  

 

There are many rumors floating out there that we need to address.  The
current training that everyone is receiving on the health module of IC
is a prototype and not the final version that is being developed by a
dedicated workgroup of school nurses who have met since last July.  The
goal of the workgroup is to develop a module that will work here in
Maine.  This module will be ready in August and trainings will be made
available to districts for free at that time.

 

Please be patient as we work through this process.  

 

Thank you.

 

Nancy

Good Evening,

 

Three things that might be of interest: (2 below, 1 attached)

Jo

 

Thornton Academy has hosted Project Aware several times and many of our
students are involved in the organization.  Thanks, Carol

The Project AWARE Players created "Untold Stories" based on the true
stories of two of their troupe. The project is nearly complete and we
are starting the marketing process. "Untold Stories" has received the
support of the Maine Attorney General's Office. I have a letter from
former AG Steve Rowe regarding that.
  
 You can use this e-mail if you can forward to the list you mentioned to
me. "Untold Stories" is produced by Project AWARE which is a non-profit
organization dedicated to youth empowerment. We have taken a big risk in
creating this product by investing a huge amount of money and time. We
truly believe it could benefit those you are in touch with, offering
them an opportunity to make a big difference at a minimal cost. 
  

 "Untold Stories: the truth about bullying and harassment" is available
for pre-order!
  
 "the movie is a powerful tool to raise awareness about school-age
bullying and harassment ..." 
 Former Maine Attorney General Steve Rowe
                
 "I have been where these girls are (in "Untold Stories") ... I just
want people to know that more and more people are being hurt by bullying
every day."
 High School Student 


 www.untoldstoriesmovie.com <http://www.untoldstoriesmovie.com>
<http://www.untoldstoriesmovie.com/>  
  
 And if you pre-order the educational  package BY APRIL 15 
 YOU WILL RECEIVE A 20% DISCOUNT
 The package includes the "Untold Stories" dramatic movie short (25
min.) created by the Project AWARE Players along with special video
features AND a 50 plus page CD-ROM handbook packed with useful tools and
curriculums. The handbook features a script for a short play that can be
used by any youth group to raise awareness about bullying, and a
facilitator's guide for running a Youth Empowerment Workshop (tm). The
short play is also provided as a video special feature as performed by
the Players. Use this powerful resource to run an effective prevention
program that empowers young people to take the lead on this serious
issue AND create a kind, safe and respectful school and community
climate. 

Over 90 minutes of HIGH QUALITY video material and a 50 plus page
handbook!
  
 Pre-order now and received a 20% discount!
  
 Go to:
 www.untoldstoriesmovie.com <http://www.untoldstoriesmovie.com>
<http://www.untoldstoriesmovie.com/>  
  
 DVD Package will ship after April 30

 (this announcement will be made through multiple lists; we want people
to know about this important resource; please forgive duplicates)
  
Untold Stories was created by the Project AWARE Players and produced by
Project AWARE, Inc., a non-profit organization, and Video Creations of
Kennebunk, Maine. Thank you to: Acadia Hospital, Biddeford Savings Bank,
Francis Hollis Brain Foundation, Kennebunk Savings Bank, Maine Community
Foundation, Saco Biddeford Savings Institution, Sam L. Cohen Foundation,
and especially to Video Creations for making this project possible.

And this:

Do you want to help a school become a healthier place for students to
learn and for staff to work, but you don't know where to begin? Do you
recognize the positive benefits of healthy eating and physical activity
for students, but you don't know how to incorporate these lessons into
your work? Are you convinced that you cannot get any assistance in
creating a healthier school environment without paying for this kind of
support? For the help and tools you need, join the Healthy Schools
Program's Network for free!

The Alliance for a Healthier Generation - a joint partnership between
the American Heart Association and the William J. Clinton Foundation
working to combat childhood obesity across the U.S. - knows schools are
powerful places to not only teach children the academic skills they need
to succeed, but also healthy habits for life. The Alliance Healthy
Schools Program provides free, comprehensive support and recognition to
develop healthier school environments. 

Anyone interested in making schools healthier places for students to
learn and staff to work can join the Healthy Schools Program's Network
at HealthierGeneration.org/schools
<http://www.healthiergeneration.org/schools>  and receive access to a
wealth of resources at no cost. Sign-up is quick and easy, so join today
for immediate access to tools and support for a healthier school.

Hi Moms and Dads: Last month we asked how you felt about the changes in
the No Nits Policy's happening around the country.  Many schools feel that
kids are missing too many days and that nits do not pose any harm.  We
received over 150 passionate responses, most in favor of keeping the No
Nits Policy in place.  
Here is a link to some of the responses - we thank you all for your
thoughts, opinions and insights - it was an education!  And on a personal
note, thanks to many of you who wrote in and told us that you are
confident that your children are protected now that you have found Fairy
Tales!

Welcome back from vacation!  I know you all would like the latest
information about the breaking news about the "swine flu" confirmed in
the U.S.  Below is the press release as of Saturday, April 26th.  

 

Dr. Dora Mills will be providing more information as it becomes
available and I will forward immediately.  

 

The important thing to remember as students and staff return to school
is where they have been during April vacation.  Highest risk obviously
is anyone traveling to Mexico last week.  Also, it is important to watch
students who may have visited relatives California or Texas.  It appears
that this flu is spreading quickly and anywhere someone has traveled
could be bringing this flu to Maine.

 

Please remind staff and students about proper respiratory hygiene (cough
in sleeve and stay home if ill).  Also, please report any calls that you
receive from parents that students are out with the "flu" to the
surveillance reporting line at 1-800-821-5821.  This swine flu has
components of swine, avian and human influenza (H1N1).  

 

So far there have been no fatalities from this flu in the U.S.  There
have been 60 deaths in Mexico.  

 

Good luck with the first day back from vacation!  

 

More information to come.

Simple Steps Can Reduce Spread of Swine Flu; No Confirmed Cases in Maine


April 26, 2009
Governor's Office

AUGUSTA - In response to confirmed cases of people infected with swine
influenza (swine flu) in several states and Mexico, the Maine Center for
Disease Control and Prevention (Maine CDC) in the Department of Health
and Human Services has been working closely with the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to increase tracking of influenza
in Maine, including swine flu, and to make preparations to minimize its
impact.

"We have seen a decrease in seasonal influenza in Maine these past few
weeks, and have not detected any swine flu yet," said Dr. Dora Anne
Mills, the Director of the Maine CDC. "However, with this outbreak
spreading, it is likely we will see it in Maine. Our goal is to minimize
its impact."

So far, there have been no fatalities associated with swine flu in the
United States.

"Everyone has an important role in making sure swine flu has a minimal
impact in Maine. We can all be vigilant in practicing respiratory
hygiene," Mills said. 

These strategies include:
* Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or sleeve. * Wash your
hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze.
Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective. * Try to avoid close
contact with sick people. * If you get sick, stay home from work or
school and limit contact with others to avoid infecting them. 

People returning from visiting areas with confirmed swine flu, such as
Mexico, Southern California, Southern Texas and more areas as added by
CDC, should pay close attention to their health for seven days. 

"If you become sick with the symptoms of swine flu during this period,
you should call your health care provider with the information about
your symptoms and where you traveled," Mills said.

Mills will hold a media availability at 11 a.m. Monday at Maine CDC, 286
Water Street, Key Plaze, 8th Floor, in Augusta. 

The symptoms of swine flu in people appear to be similar to the symptoms
of regular human influenza and include fever with cough, sore throat,
body aches, headache, chills or fatigue. Some people have reported
diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu. Like seasonal flu,
swine flu may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical
conditions.

Governor John E. Baldacci has been briefed on the situation and is
tracking developments through the Maine CDC.

"While there are no confirmed cases of the swine flu in Maine, we are
taking precautions to ensure that we can quickly identify and track any
outbreak," Governor Baldacci said. "It's important to remember that a
few simple steps, like washing your hands or staying home if your ill,
can make a real difference in helping to stop the spread of the flu."

Maine has been working closely with the federal government and other
public health officials in New England on strategies for detecting and
tracking cases of the swine flu and on potential responses. For facts
about influenza, and more information about swine flu, please visit the
Maine CDC and U.S. CDC Web sites. Some specific resources:

Maine CDC Web site on Swine Flu: www.mainepublichealth.gov; or
http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/boh/swine-flu-2009.shtml
<http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/boh/swine-flu-2009.shtml>

<http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/> 

Preventing the Flu: http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/habits.htm
<http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/habits.htm> 

Swine flu is a respiratory infection caused by influenza type A viruses
that regularly cause outbreaks of influenza in pigs. People do not
normally get swine flu, but human infections can occur. Human cases
typically involve people who have had direct contact with pigs, but
person-to-person transmission is suspected among recent cases in the
U.S. The infected people in Mexico have had a high fatality rate, but
the recent cases from California and Texas have been mild. Swine
influenza cannot be transmitted from eating pork or pork products.

Questions are coming in about closing schools.  Directives to close
schools (on a case by case basis) will come from Maine CDC.  All school
nurses should increase their surveillance for students and staff who
exhibit flu like symptoms.  All staff and/or students with fevers should
stay home until the fever is gone and symptoms improve.  Any suspect
cases of flu like symptoms must be reported to the Reporting line at
1-800-821-5821.  Please do not assume that PCPs are doing this.  You
might be seeing ill children before they do.

 

At this time staff and/or students who have traveled during vacation are
NOT to be excluded UNLESS they exhibit flu like symptoms.  There is no
"front end quarantine" meaning no exclusion for simply having traveled
to a state or country currently affected. 

 

Below is the most current site for swine flu information.  There
continue to be no confirmed cases of swine flu in Maine.

 If you have questions, please call me directly or the reporting and
information 800 number listed above.  

 

Thank you for all you are doing to monitor this situation as it unfolds.

======================================================

TO:  ALL SUPERINTENDENTS OF SCHOOLS

 

The following message is being sent at the request of the Commissioner.

 

Note:  The Administrative and Informational Letters (with more
formatting for ease of reading and printing) are available on our
website at the following address:
http://www.maine.gov/education/edletrs/index.shtml

INFORMATIONAL LETTER: 95
POLICY CODE: EEBA

DATE: April 28, 2009
TO: Superintendents of Schools, Private Schools, Special Purpose Private
Schools, and School Nurses
FROM: Commissioner Susan A. Gendron, Department of Education
RE: Swine Influenza Guidelines for Schools

The Department of Education is in close communication at this time with
the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Maine CDC) on the
status of identified swine flu first reported on April 26, 2009. Nancy
Dube, the Department's School Nurse Consultant, has already been in
direct contact with your school nurses, and will continue to update them
with any information they need to ensure the health and safety of
students and the school community. School nurses have been made aware of
the procedure to follow in reporting suspected cases of swine flu. The
24/7 Reporting and Consultation Line is 1-800-821-5821.

The Maine CDC has issued the following statement: "No cases of swine
influenza (H1N1), known as swine flu, have been detected in Maine as of
April 26, 2009." Many families are returning from spring vacation and
there is the potential that some of these families may have come in
contact with the swine flu. 

At this time, the Maine Department of Education and the Maine CDC
recommend that schools increase education on respiratory hygiene and
monitor the school population for signs of acute febrile (fever)
respiratory (coughing) illness.

Respiratory hygiene education should include:

*	Cover your coughs and sneezes.
*	Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
*	Wash hands frequently, especially after coughing or sneezing.
*	Stay home if you are sick, especially with a fever.

Industrial hygiene should also be stepped up to include cleaning of
surfaces particularly public water fountains and bathrooms.

Any student or staff member with acute febrile respiratory illness,
regardless of travel history, should be sent home according to the local
school board policy with instructions to stay home until 24-48 hours
after the symptoms resolve (no fever for 1-2 days). Instructions should
be given to seek medical care with worsening symptoms. 

AT THIS TIME EXCLUSION IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SCHOOL PERSONNEL OR
STUDENTS WHO HAVE RECENTLY TRAVELED TO AN AFFECTED AREA AND DO NOT HAVE
SYMPTOMS.

This is a rapidly evolving situation and information can change quickly.
The Maine CDC website is a good source for accurate information about
swine flu, with links to the U.S. CDC site:
<http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/boh/swine-flu-2009.shtml>
http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/boh/swine-flu-2009.shtml .

If you have further questions about swine flu or require further
guidance, please contact Nancy Dube RN, School Nurse Consultant, at
207-624-6688 or Nancy.Dube at maine.gov or the Maine CDC at 1-800-821-5821.

Subject: Interim CDC Guidance for Nonpharmaceutical Mitigation [id:

Importance: High

 

Maine Update: 

While Maine has not yet identified any people confirmed with swine
influenza A (H1N1), there are several people being tested, and a large
number of Mainers who have recently returned from traveling in areas
where swine influenza is found. 

The most important strategies to minimize swine flu's impact in Maine
are those of respiratory hygiene: 

*         covering coughs and sneezes with sleeves or elbows; 

*         washing hands frequently; 

*         staying home if ill, especially with a fever. 

Additionally, everyone should stay informed since this event is rapidly
changing and resulting guidance is as well. The U.S. CDC's website has
updated national information and guidance at:
http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/ . Maine CDC's website has updated
Maine-specific information, including daily updates starting later
today, as well as links to federal information. It can be located at:
www.mainepublichealth.gov <http://www.mainepublichealth.gov/> .  

Importantly, everyone should also make preparations. These preparations
include activating a pandemic influenza plan. If one does not exist,
then preparation check lists for a variety of settings including homes,
businesses, and schools can be found at:
http://www.pandemicflu.gov/plan/checklists.html. This health advisory
contains an update from U.S. CDC including new interim guidance on
community mitigation strategies, such as isolation, quarantine, school
and day care closures, and the social distancing strategies of
cancelling mass gatherings. 

People and organizations in Maine need to prepare now for those possible
strategies to be implemented. 

Thank you.

We are all on vigilant mode now, and my assistant superintendent is looking
for answers.  Even before this outbreak of the Swine Flu, our safety
committee had been trying to come up with some cleaning solutions that can
be used consistently throughout the schools..easy to use by staff (who are
trained) for cleaning areas every day.  Our custodians have a routine of
cleaning with their industrial strength products, but it would be impossible
to do every area every day.  Teachers have been bringing all kinds of things
in to clean desks, door knobs etc.   The safety committee wants everything
to be safe, effective and consistent.  What are your safety committees
recommending?

 

Thanks, Sue

Hi Sue, 
Good question- maybe Nancy should consult with the Maine CDC  and give us
a recommendation that we can all use- something that is effective for this
new flu?  Will the 10% bleach solution effective for this?  Can it be used
in the schools?

Okay, the volume of calls is increasing on the Maine Reporting line.
Please follow Mark's directions below.  If you have questions, you can
contact me for further discussion.

 

*	Call the 1-800 line with over 15% absenteeism 
*	Send students home with fever 100 or above with information
about influenza.
*	Encourage parents to call PCP if the student has traveled to an
endemic area during spring break.
*	Maine CDC will work with school districts if and when confirmed
cases of swine flu are identified.

 

 

Thank you, everyone!

From: Griswold, Mark 
Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 12:36 PM

Subject: FW: reports of respiratory illness from school nurses

 

Hello Nancy,

 

We've been receiving calls from school nurses on our clinical disease
reporting line to report individual students with respiratory illness.
While we appreciate their concern and attention, these calls don't meet
our clinical disease reporting criteria and are unnecessary at this
time, particularly given the increased overall call volume to the
reporting line.  Rather, we'd prefer that school nurses monitor their
school populations for increased febrile respiratory illness and send
those students home, according to existing protocols.  If school nurses
identify a student with acute febrile respiratory illness (fever of
greater than 100 degrees and cough or sore throat), and the student (or
close contacts) has a recent history of travel from areas affected by
swine flu per federal CDC recommendations, nurses should send the
student home and advise parents to contact their child's health care
provider.

 

Nurses should only notify us if student absenteeism reaches a level of
greater than 15%.

 

Please know that Maine CDC staff will collaborate directly with school
nurses and administrators if any student is identified with a probable
or confirmed diagnosis of swine flu.

 

If you could assist us in disseminating this information to school
nurses, that would be much appreciated.  This a rapidly evolving
situation and information and protocols could change in the near future.
We'll work to ensure that you remain informed.  If you have questions,
please contact me.

 

Thank you!

Mark Griswold

Most schools cleaning products are purchased from chemical cleaning companies, such as Butchers or Genesan.  You can request and should know where the MSDS sheets are for these chemicals and be using one of the cleaning agents for your health office space.  Most are hospital grade.

Example:  Butchers Lemon Fields II  or Genesan NeutraFect each are hsopial-grade disninfectants that are good against a variety of fungus, mold, virus and bacteria (TB, strep, staph, blood borne path, flu, etc.)

Schools who have gone green are facing increased financial costs, with the  increased industrial cleaning  recommended by the CDC. I contacted Nancy Dube this morning and she is checking with authorities to see if we can go with the bleach for the short term. during the swine flu. She said she would get the recommendations out on the list serve.

Hello, everyone.  H1N1 has been confirmed in York and Kennebec counties
in Maine at 11:00 this morning.  Three adults have H1N1.  No further
info is available.  The President has gone to Level 5 nationally.
Please review your pandemic flu plans for what that means.
Superintendents received a briefing at noon about potential school
closings.  Information is changing rapidly.  I will try to keep everyone
informed.  The Maine DOE web site has a link to "Swine Flu Updates".
You can check there for new information.

Good day everyone, by now you know that one school has closed due to an
identified case of H1N1.  

 

Some terminology I would like to bring to your attention regarding H1N1.

 

In Maine:

 

"Suspect Case"= has symptoms consistent with influenza (don't know what
type)

"Identified Case" = confirmed by Maine State Lab to be influenza
sub-type H1N1

"Probable Case" = U.S.CDC term that means confirmed in Maine but not by
U.S. CDC

"Confirmed Case" = U.S. CDC has reported confirmation that state test
was accurate and it is H1N1

 

The protocol for school closure:

 

Superintendents attending a briefing on Wednesday and the following
protocol was shared. 

 

Once a student is identified (refer to definitions above) as having
H1N1:

 

*	Exposure data will be collected by Maine CDC to determine extent
of contact in the school and district (and potentially other school
districts).
*	Dr. Dora Mills and Commissioner Gendron will contact the
superintendent in the affected school district that a school(s) closure
is required for seven (7) calendar days. This may be only one school or
could be the entire district (current recommendation).
*	Student name (s) will not be released due to HIPAA
confidentiality rules.
*	Staff will be sent home as well and should not report to other
buildings.
*	Refer parents with questions to the Maine CDC information line
at 1-888-257-0990.

 

The latest is only one school is closed by Maine CDC at this time.  NO
other schools are being closed by Maine CDC/DOE at this time.  Again,
this information is changing hourly.  Please check the Maine DOE
web-site for the most current updates.  There is a link to the Maine CDC
H1N1 information on that site.  www.maine.gov/education

 

We are answering phone calls as quickly as we can and appreciate your
patience.
