Contagious Illness Surveillance
Not all contagious illnesses are required to be reported to local health departments or to public schools. However, if your student is diagnosed with a skin infection such as Staph/MRSA, Chickenpox, Viral/Bacteria Meningitis, Pertussis/Whopping Cough it would be greatly appreciated if you would notify the Director of Health Services at 241.3500. This notification will be kept confidential and could possibly prevent the spread of illness to fellow students and school staff.
Emergency Services
Each school has an emergency response plan that includes school staff who maintain a current certification in CPR/AED. All Oldham Co Schools including the Arts Center and all three athletic trainers are equipped with an AED (automated external defibrillator).
Registered Nurses are assigned to consult and/or respond to medical concerns for students.
