The health and safety of all students and staff is a priority of the Tigard-Tualatin School District (TTSD). The control of communicable diseases is an essential component of health and wellness in the school setting.  Providing a safe, comfortable, and healthy environment facilitates the educational process, encourages social development, and allows children to acquire healthy attitudes toward school (NRC, 2020).  

The purpose of this comprehensive guide is to provide infection control guidance, practice standards, and protocols for the Tigard-Tualatin School District.
