COMMUNICABLE DISEASES SPECIFIC GUIDELINES AND COMMENTS

The following guidelines are recommended, in addition to the other administrative regulations and procedures for communicable disease, to handle AIDS in the school district. Current epidemiological data reveals that AIDS and its related viral infection is transmitted by close, intimate sexual contact and/or by blood. This virus is not spread by casual contact that a student or school district employee is expected to have in the school environment, and to date there is no recorded transmission of AIDS or the viral infection to a family member of an AIDS patient unless there is direct sexual or blood contact. Casual transmission from one person to another by sitting near each other, living in the same household, or playing together has not been documented.
