In addition to the resources above, a Sample Pandemic Plan that was modified from a Plan for H1N1 can be accessed here. It is designed to help you start to have discussions about various areas, not to be used as is. Each District will have its own specific areas that may need to be addressed and their own way of handling a pandemic, including what your reaction might be if one of your staff/students were to contract the disease. While the Plan references some cancellation of events, each of you will need to make those decisions based on your own criteria. Again, this is not a one size fits all plan, just a template to assist you with having discussions and building your own plans.
