School
districts urged to help parents stay informed
on Enterovirus, flu, Ebola
OKLAHOMA CITY (Oct. 17, 2014) – State Superintendent of Public Instruction Janet
Barresi is urging school districts to help parents stay informed and ensure
their children are keeping healthy habits in light of this year’s outbreak of
Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68), the arrival of flu season and the climate of concern
over the Ebola virus in Texas.
“I want to remind parents, educators and everyone
who works with our children to stay vigilant and informed of health trends
right now,” Barresi said. “There is a lot of fear surrounding the current outbreaks.
Educators and parents should take the time to learn about these illnesses and
take steps to reduce their impact on Oklahoma, primarily by consistently
practicing good hygiene.”
The Centers for Disease Control has compiled
several resources designed specifically for parents concerned about EV-D68.
