Communicable Disease Prevention Plan
The Vancouver School District collaborates with Vancouver Coastal Health Authority (VCHA) staff and medical health officers to manage communicable diseases efficiently.
The District’s Communicable Disease Prevention Plan (V12-Jun. 13, 2024) aligns with the latest Ministry of Education and Child Care and BC Centre for Disease Control guidelines. These include:
- BC Provincial Communicable Disease Guidelines for K-12 Settings (Sept 13, 2023)
- Public Health Communicable Disease Guidance for K-12 Schools (Sept, 2023)
Preventative measures are in place to ensure a safe environment for staff and students. The District encourages eligible staff and students to get vaccinated and stay home when infectious. For more information, refer to:
