First aid and accidents Staff in each school is trained to administer routine first aid. If further medical attention is required, the parent is called. The school district does not carry medical or health insurance to cover accidents to students during school programs or on school grounds. Parents should check their personal insurance policies to determine such coverage. An optional accident insurance policy may be purchased each year.
Information is mailed in the summer mailing of fee bills.
Administering Medicine Medicine will be administered by District health personnel only in exceptional circumstances where the prescribed medication interval requires that it be administered during school hours and when the parent requests and a physician certifies that the timing of such medication requires administration in school. School health personnel will not administer injections, except to assist students with emergency medication for diabetes and allergies when a physician has provided the school with instruction for such injections and the parent has requested such assistance. Students may not bring to school or consume any medication in school for which the above procedures have not been followed. Placement of Students with Chronic Communicable Diseases Students with chronic communicable diseases will be accommodated in the school setting as long as the risk of disease transmission is sufficiently remote to outweigh the educational disadvantages from the sudent's placement in a more restrictive setting. If a student is required to be in a non-school setting, an appropriate educational program shall be developed and provided.
