School Board Puts Plan in Place

The Rainy River District School Board says it's taking preventative measures of its own in dealing with the H1N1 flu virus in its schools.

It includes posting information in its schools to remind students and staff about proper hand-washing practices and safe cough etiquette.

It's also ensuring thorough and effective routine cleaning and disinfecting practices with increased emphasis on high contact and high contamination areas.

The board is also telling students and staff who are sick to stay home until they get better.
