 H1N1 PLAN

Labette Community College Talent Search

The Labette Community College (LCC) Talent Search program has established the following plan for its staff and participants in the event of a pandemic influenza outbreak, including H1N1.  Since
Talent Search’s primary activities occur away from the LCC campus, it is essential that the program’s staff have a plan in place.

As a federal grant program funded through LCC, this program shall first and foremost follow the H1N1 Plan and any health-related policies and procedures implemented by the host institution.  In the event the host institution decides to close the college campus and/or extension sites due to a pandemic influenza outbreak, Talent Search shall postpone grant operations in its target area until the college reopens.  As long as the host institution remains open, Talent Search shall follow the college’s H1N1 plan and utilize all recommended preventative measures.

In the event the host institution remains open and a pandemic influenza outbreak occurs in the target area schools served by Talent Search, this program shall follow the H1N1 or pandemic plan of each school it serves. If the target school declares a pandemic influenza outbreak, the following procedures shall be implemented by the advisors while performing school visitations:

• If an advisor arrives at a school and is advised of a pandemic influenza outbreak, he/she shall leave the premises immediately.

• If an advisor visits a target school and notices students wearing facemasks or obvious influenza or H1N1 symptoms, he/she shall leave the premises immediately

• If an advisor is conducting a school visitation and notices the following:

o   Low attendance due to influenza

o   Participants demonstrating H1N1 symptoms

The advisor shall immediately cancel the visitation and notify the participating school’s administration that shall postpone future visitations until the influenza or H1N1 outbreak subsides.  The advisor shall not return to the school until a determination is made by the following administrative officials whether a resumption of visitations is deemed safe and in the best interest of the students:

•  Project Director

• LCC Vice-President of Student Affairs

• Appropriate academic administrators for the school in question

Since it is the responsibility of this program to provide its staff and participants a safe and healthy environment to participate in, the Project Director shall monitor the host institution and target school’s health bulletins to determine future actions.
