| Overview |
Because the Baldwinsville Central School District is committed to candid communications with community members, the district has established the Key Communicators’ Network to enhance communications with all of its stakeholders. The goals of the group are:
• To bridge the connection between the district and the community;
• To communicate student and staff accomplishments;
• To provide an opportunity for key communicators to share community concerns, questions and ideas with the district;
• To provide key communicators with accurate information regarding district programs and initiatives that they share with other community members; and
• To proactively manage issues, particularly rumors and misinformation circulating in the community.

| QUESTION & ANSWERS |
Q. - How is the district preparing for the H1N1 flu, should it affect our school community?
A. – Student health and safety is the Baldwinsville Central School District’s number one priority. We are working closely with the Onondaga County Health Department to monitor H1N1 in our schools, as well as to stop its spread. The district has prepared a PowerPoint presentation regarding the virus and the steps we are taking to minimize its impact in our schools. Click here to view the presentation.
To minimize the H1N1 flu’s impact on our students’ health and daily instruction, the district is preparing for various scenarios related to the H1N1 flu, such as the absence of a large number of staff members in one building or district wide.
We are also working with the Health Department to explore options for community immunization sites in our buildings once the H1N1 vaccine is available in our area. Please note that we are still in the exploratory stage.
The district will continue to work closely with the Health Department. As new information becomes available on the H1N1 flu and its impact on our community, we will keep district residents informed through this website, the district newsletter, the ConnectEd telephone messaging service, the local radio and television stations, and letters home to parents.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation. More information on the flu is available at www.nyhealth.gov and www.flu.gov.
