Commissioner's Update
August 8, 2006
Dear Superintendents, and Leaders of Charter Schools and Collaboratives:
In this Update I have one announcement and three items recently posted at www.doe.mass.edu for your review.
Pandemic Influenza and All Hazards Planning
To assist you in preparing for the potential of pandemic influenza and other emergencies in the schools, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has established a "Pandemic Influenza and All Hazards Planning" website at http://www.doe.mass.edu/pandemic/.
This website is a source of important and timely local, state, national and global information and resources for school personnel and public health and safety officials in preparedness planning, and it will be updated periodically by the Department of Public Health and other agencies.
Please forward this important link to others who are involved in school emergency preparedness.
Postings at www.doe.mass.edu:
- Reviews of First Year Waivers
- Expanded Learning Time Planning Grants
- High School of the Future II Conference Call for Presenters
Sincerely,
David P. Driscoll
Commissioner of Education
