​Prevention of Disease/Infection Transmission​ ​(Handling Body Fluids)​ ​All schools shall provide a sanitary environment and shall establish routines, recommended by​ ​appropriate health professionals, for handling body fluids.​ ​All School District personnel shall be advised of and follow routine procedures regarding​ ​handling body fluids. These procedures shall provide simple and effective precautions against​ ​transmission of diseases to persons potentially exposed to the blood or body fluids of another.​ ​These procedures shall be standard health and safety practices developed in consultation with​ ​medical personnel. No distinction shall be made between body fluids from individuals with a​ ​known disease and individuals without symptoms or with an undiagnosed disease.​ ​The procedures shall be published as School District regulations and distributed to all staff on a​ ​regular basis. Training and appropriate supplies shall be available to all personnel including​ ​those involved in transportation and custodial services.​ ​In addition to ensuring that these health and safety practices are carried out on a district-wide​ ​basis, special emphasis shall be placed in those areas of School District operation that​ ​potentially present a greater need for these precautions. Under no circumstances shall students​ ​be directed or knowingly be allowed to handle body fluids other than their own.​ ​LEGAL REF.:​
