Dublin City Schools swine flu protocol
Author: 4/28/2009 - Office of Public Information
In response to the identification of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infections in humans in the United States (including one in Ohio), the Dublin City School District has activated the initial steps of its protocol for dealing with these situations. Although there have been no reported cases of swine flu in Franklin County, the district is taking steps to inform parents, students and staff of the precautionary measures we will take each day.
At this point, the district’s protocol consists of daily use of appropriate disinfectants in school buildings.
Restrooms and locker room areas are cleaned and disinfected every night. Lunch tables are disinfected every day. We also disinfect door knobs and table or desks surfaces once a week.
We are monitoring advisories from federal, state, and local public health authorities; as well as student and staff attendance. Further steps will be taken if necessary, with the guidance of public health authorities.
What You Can Do to Stay Healthy
Families and staff members should keep in mind these guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control:
· Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue away in the trash after use.
· Wash your hands often with soap and water, particularly after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also effective.
· Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread that way.
· Try to avoid contact with sick people.
· If you get sick, stay home from work or school, and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.

Dublin history lesson
Peter and Benjamin Sells came to the area around 1801 from Huntington County, Pa., to buy land. Old Dublin was first platted in 1810 by their brother, John. Surveyor John Shields named the town after his birthplace in Ireland. The town developed the usual assortment of mills, shops and churches, with settlers coexisting peacefully with Wyandot Indians, who camped on Indian Run. The town gained notoriety in the mid-19th century, when a surplus of taverns and rowdy Civil War veterans gave the village a tough reputation. Columbus' growth and the construction of I-270 made expansion inevitable. Dublin achieved city status in 1987.
