"BOARD" Bulletin
A Message from the President
By Luis Arroyo
From my first term as a board member I knew the appointment
would be both important and challenging. I continue to be
marveled at the expertise and compassion staff has when
interacting in the community with children and families. This
lends to the generally positive community knowledge about who we
are and the work we do. Our dedication to protecting children
and preserving families is second to none. My hope is that this
newsletter serves as a positive, informative vehicle
contributing further to the body of knowledge about ourselves.
Bienvenidos
Luis Arroyo, Chair

Smoking Policy for Agency Staff While on Duty and Conducting Agency Business
In line with a new rule [OAC 5101:2-7-12 (V)] which mandates a
smoke free environment for foster children, the following
guidelines will also apply to agency staff whenever they come
into contact with children:
All smoking shall be conducted out of the
sight of children.
Smoking shall not occur in agency
facilities or in agency/county vehicles.
Staff may not smoke while transporting
children, whether in their own cars or
agency vans.
Any area where staff smoke must be so far
removed that children cannot inhale smoke. |
