Staff and faculty member health is a key component of the successful operation of school programs. The Canutillo District’s preventative approach to keeping teachers and staff healthy will involve 3 types of measures:
- Strengthening individual’s resistance to infections
- Infection control and prevention by structuring and managing routine practices and environment, in order to reduce the likelihood of contact with germs that might cause infectious disease
- Exclusion, when indicated
1. Strengthening Resistance to Infection
Measures that foster health and well-being make people better able to resist infectious diseases.
Routine Health Assessments
It is highly encouraged for teachers and staff to regularly visit their health care provider for a wellness and physical exam to ensure that they receive recommended preventative health services and address any chronic health conditions.
