Flagstaff Bordertown Dormitory, Inc.

COVID-19

Preamble

            COVID-19 has created an everchanging landscape that includes ambiguous and sometimes conflicting direction from governmental entities and new, ambiguous, ill-defined laws and consequences which are difficult to discern.

            In this confusing context, we set forth the following principles which are the basis of our COVID-19 Policies:

1. The health, safety and welfare of our students, staff and communities.
2. To continue in providing the best possible educational opportunity for our students in these conditions.
3. To operate Flagstaff Bordertown Dormitory, Inc. in a professional, responsible, efficient manner as is our public responsibility.
4. To establish policies in good faith and in an attempt to be fair to all.

            In return, we ask that all employees deal with these issues in good faith, with the focus on the above principles and our FBD mission and in a spirit of collaboration and cooperation with the administration and co-workers to accomplish the common good.

            COVID-19 requires that we remain flexible, be prepared to act quickly and responsibly and that we allow our administrators to exercise their discretion to meet the demands created by COVID-19 and achieve the above enumerated principles.

Purpose

Flagstaff Bordertown Dormitory (FBD) strives to promote a healthy, safe work and home environment for all students, staff, and visitors.  This can only be achieved and maintained when active interest, participation, and accountability exists at all levels of the organization. To ensure this, FBD has established this COVID-19 Policy with general health and safety rules for ALL staff to follow to ensure a safe work environment and limit the spread of the virus.  Some rules require workplace changes to be implemented as soon as possible in order to limit the spread of COVID-19.  All staff members are to follow these rules, review them often, and use good common sense in carrying out assigned duties. It should also be noted that while these policies and procedures specifically address COVID-19, they shall apply to any infectious disease.

This policy outlines the best practices for prevention of the spread of infectious disease in the dormitory. First and foremost, the goal of this policy is to promote and reinforce, where possible, a culture of best practices for highly infectious diseases.
