Borger ISD is actively monitoring developments and information related to the coronavirus (COVID-19). Our priority is the safety of our students and staff. Our Maintenance/Custodial Dept. is being proactive by using specialized sanitizer in bathrooms, classrooms, weight rooms and buses. All custodial staff also have specialized disposable sanitizer wipes. These are used in classrooms as well as computer labs daily.

We have also encouraged our students and staff to ensure proper handwashing techniques by washing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.

We are advising parents that if their student is sick, to please notify your child’s school and keep them at home until fever free for at least 24 hours without medication.

Borger ISD is following the (CDC) Center for Disease Control and Prevention everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:

Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Stay home when you are sick.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
Follow CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
