The Physical Education Staff (back to top)
Members of the Physical Education Staff have a unique responsibility in working with students who have asthma. Physical activity is important for these students and they should be encouraged to participate as fully as possible. Because asthma may be exercise induced, physical education staff should be watchful and alert.
The Support and Office Staff (back to top)
Members of the school's Support Staff, including guidance counselors, social workers, psychologists, and various therapists have a responsibility to promote the growth, development, and learning of every student. Members of the support staff and the office staff should be prepared to recognize the symptoms of breathing difficulties and know how to respond appropriately.
The Custodial Staff (back to top)
The Custodial Staff has a very important role in maintaining good indoor air quality in the school environment. A clean school is essential in promoting the health of all members of the school community. All custodians need to be alert to situations that contribute to air pollution and team with the school administration to see that these are managed correctly.
The Food Service Staff (back to top)
Food Service Staff should maintain a clean area for all food preparation and serving. Cleanliness is essential to prevent unwanted pests and odors that can contribute to allergy problems.
The Transportation Staff (back to top)
Transportation Staff, including bus drivers and the aides who assist them, are vital links in helping students with asthma as they are transported to and from school, on field trips, for athletic events, and in connection with any of a variety of school activities. The transportation staff should be trained to identify the signs of breathing difficulties and be able to respond appropriately.
