The Board of Education recognizes that the health and physical well-being of the students and staff of this District depends in large measure upon the cleanliness and sanitary management of the facilities.

The Board directs that a program of hygienic management be instituted and explained annually to all staff members. Particular emphasis is to be given to cleanliness and sanitation as an important factor in the control of the spread of contagious disease.

The Superintendent shall request that each facility be inspected for cleanliness and sanitation by the Van Buren County Health Department.

The Superintendent shall prepare procedures for the handling and disposal of body wastes and fluids. Such procedures shall include the protection of staff members who clean or handle blood or blood-soaked items, vomitus, saliva, urine, or feces; the disinfection of surfaces and items in contact with such matter; the disposal of such matter in sealed containers; and the frequent and thorough cleansing of hands and any other body parts that contact such matter.

The Superintendent shall develop and supervise a program for the cleanliness and sanitary management of the District buildings, District grounds, and District equipment pursuant to law.

The cleanliness of each District building shall be the responsibility of the building administrator.
