Great presentation! I really liked the ease and coloring of the format in your slides. It was an easy, comfortable read (my work computer doesn’t have speakers at summer camp!).
We have the 100.4 cut-off in our school, but add the caveat that student may be sent home at a lower temperature if other symptoms/issues are present.
Here is a snippet from our wording – perhaps it will help in defining yours:
“ILLNESS – To protect your child and other children from disease outbreaks, we must ask parents to help by keeping their children home when ill. Students with a temperature of 100.4 degrees or greater (without fever reducing medication) are considered to have a fever, should not be at school, and will be sent home. Other symptoms with or without a temperature of 100.4 degrees including behavior changes, headache, sore throat, nausea, coughing, and/or sneezing may indicate illness. If illness is suspected, the student will be sent home with their parent/parent designee. A student leaving school because of illness cannot ride the bus.”

My experience has been that when presented with hard evidence and data, that schools/administration is quick to follow suit. Good luck with your project! Definitely worthwhile!
