Empty hand sanitizer dispensers

Question: Why are all the hand sanitizer dispensers empty?

Answer: We ordered refills for the hand sanitizer dispensers more than a month ago, but unfortunately they are on back-order. We've looked at purchasing refills from other companies, but no one has them in stock.

Please keep in mind that hand sanitizer should always be used as your second line of defense when combatting the H1N1 (swine) flu and other illnesses. Washing your hands with soap and hot water for at least 30 seconds is the best way to kill disease-causing germs.

H1N1 (Swine) flu rumors

Superintendent Stephen Tomlinson sent the following letter home to parents on Friday, Oct. 23, that addresses rumors in the community regarding H1N1 or swine flu in the schools:

I am writing to inform you that the rumor that Broadalbin-Perth Schools are closed because of a large number of students with H1N1 (swine) flu is simply that: A rumor.

All schools are open and fully staffed, and to date we are not aware of any laboratory-confirmed cases of H1N1 in our community.
