Dismissal of School Children in the Context of Pandemic Influenza. In response to national pandemic preparedness priorities, CDC commissioned
the independent Centers for Law and the Public's Health: A Collaborative
at Johns Hopkins and Georgetown Universities to review the state-level legal
framework for reducing the density of school classrooms, with specific focus
on closure of schools, as a social distancing or social mitigation measure
to slow the spread of an H5N1 influenza pandemic or similar highly contagious
infectious disease. The Centers’ researchers restricted their scope of inquiry to
laws adopted at the state level and to laws that expressly address school
closure. (The study did not address any relevant laws adopted at the local
level, nor did it address any relevant general laws.) The Centers’ report Legal
Preparedness for School Closures in Response to Pandemic Influenza and Other
Emergencies presents a summary description of the express state laws
reviewed by the researchers as of late 2006, together with the authors'
observations about those laws (click

government's comprehensive pandemic influenza website (http://www.pandemicinfluenza.gov)
and on the Centers' website (http://www.publichealthlaw.net).
