The Stomach Bug Book: What School Employees Need to Know was written by NEA Healthy Futures, a nonprofit organization affiliated with the National Education Association. This project has been funded at least in part with funds from the USDA Food and Nutrition Service.

This booklet explains what you—the school employee— need to know about stomach illnesses at school. What are your responsibilities? How can you decrease the risks to yourself, your co-workers, and other students? How should you clean up? This booklet will answer these questions for you and provide you with tips to share with your co-workers, family, and the school community.
