November 9, 2007 Community Meetings: The Franklin County Board of Education and Board of County Commissioners have enjoyed success at four community meetings. There are two re- maining in the series, with the next one taking place this coming Tuesday at Louisburg High School at 7 p.m. in the new cafeteria. Franklinton High School will host the final meeting on November 15th at 7 p.m. in the auditorium. Attendance has been fair and there have been many questions and opinions voiced at most of the meetings. These meetings outline projects completed from the 2004 School Bond and express current FCS facility needs. Location Date/Time District Medication Distribution: Effective November 1st, our school nurses will no longer be able to distribute any over-the-counter medications. The only medications that a school nurse will have are emergency medications such as Benadryl and epinephrine. These medications are to be used in the event that a student or staff member has an allergic reaction. This means that when students have rashes, cuts, tooth pain, bug bites, or an upset stomach, the school nurses will not be able to administer any medi- cation to relieve the discomfort. For cuts and abrasions, students will be asked to wash the wound with soap and water. This does not necessitate a visit to the nurse’s office unless a bloodborne pathogen concern arises. Please be aware that K-5 stu- dents may have over-the-counter products by a medical doctor’s order, and grade 6-12 students may have over-the-counter products by parent permission if it is in a single dose labeled container. If you have any questions, see your school nurse. Address Change: The Central Office mailing address has changed to 53 West River Road, Louisburg, NC 27549. Please update this information. The old PO Box is being phased out. Flu Shot Clinic: You have two chances left to get your flu shot through FCS. Cedar Creek Middle will hold a clinic on November 13th, and Franklinton High School will do so on November 14th. FCS Friday Update, November 9, 2007 Date/Time Location
