COVID-19

In alignment with OCHD, BHS is no longer identifying close contacts that occurred from an exposure within a school setting. 

If you are aware of a known exposure, the current quarantine guidelines from OCHD are as follows:

SCHOOL EXPOSURES

• Close contact monitors symptoms for 10 days.
• Consider wearing a mask for 10 days following exposure.
• Test if symptoms develop.

PERSONAL/HOUSEHOLD EXPOSURES 

• Monitor symptoms for 10 days.
• Wear a mask around others for 10 days following exposure.
• Test 3-7 after exposure or if symptoms develop.
• Avoid unmasked activities or activities with higher risk of exposing vulnerable individuals.

COVID-19 vaccination is encouraged for all eligible individuals.

Standard daily cleaning protocols using products approved by the CDC to be effective against the COVID-19 virus. Touch points are wiped down and sanitized frequently. All bathrooms thoroughly cleaned, sanitized, and washed daily. We use Clorox 360 electrostatic sprayers in possibly contaminated classrooms.

There is thorough sanitization of the entire fleet of buses using Victory electrostatic backpack sprayer.

• Cleaning: Buses will be properly cleaned after the departure of the last child from each run once the bus has returned to the transportation garage. For buses with specialized transportation and equipment, bus aides and drivers will coordinate the wiping down of equipment upon entrance to the bus. Cleaning logs are maintained.
• Air flow: Bus drivers, weather permitting, will keep roof hatches and windows open on the bus both in-route and when stopped, except when specified air conditioning is required for students with documented medical conditions. Keeping the windows open will allow for 40-60% of the air to be recycled.
• Hand Sanitizer/Masks: Hand sanitizer and masks available for children to use on our buses.
