Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Standard
What are the recommendations for PPE before reopening schools? |
In compliance with Alameda County Public Health Orders, all adults and children in grades K-12 should wear masks/face coverings any time outside the home. Staff and students who have a cloth mask that works for their needs can and should continue to use their own masks when on school campuses.
OUSD will also provide access to masks and face shields for staff and students who do not have their own or who forget to bring theirs to school. The following PPE will be provided to our schools to resume in-person services for students. The type, quantity, and frequency of replenishment is based on state and local guidelines, is in alignment with other district standards, and has been reviewed by a team of UCSF physicians supporting school reopening. If schools or departments have a special request or unique need for PPE, they can use the following google forms that will place them into the queue for PPE. Orders will be fulfilled within 72 hours, and delivered on a weekly basis to school sites. |
