They are aware of the brain injury team requirements, including the expected team composition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please reach out to your school administrators to confirm which staff members have been identified for the brain injury management team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the brain injury management team has been identified, please schedule a meeting with them to review the updated procedures and the ITAP form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please reach out to me or Wendy Beall with any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Tami is scheduled to speak with Katie Legacy regarding high schools on 11\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CPR – Hands Only CPR <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Feel free to pass along to students\/families.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Deschutes County Medical Reserve Corps (DCMRC) is offering\u00a0free\u00a0classes to the community.

Because an entire school is considered an exposure site if someone with measles is present, even a single case could significantly impact school operations. In such a situation, schools could face temporary closures or staff shortages until proof of immunity or vaccination is verified. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Having documentation of your MMR vaccination or immunity readily available can help prevent unnecessary work exclusions in the event of an exposure. Now is a good time to review your immunization records. If you don\u2019t have access to them, contact your health care provider to discuss obtaining titers or receiving the MMR vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n SAFETY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Evacuation Plans<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please collaborate with your school Safety Team to review or create an evacuation plan for students with mobility needs (wheelchairs, walkers, etc.) who may access the second floor. Bend Fire has offered to support schools in this planning process. Jason Kamperman<\/strong> is the contact at Bend Fire. jkamperman@bendoregon.gov<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
