The School Board recognizes the importance of taking appropriate action whenever an accident or illness threatens the safety, health or welfare of a student at school or during school-sponsored activities. The Superintendent shall establish procedures to minimize the effects of an injury by providing first aid and/or medical attention as quickly as possible, to notify parents/guardians of the accident and to take other steps necessary in the interests of the student and the District.

Emergency Contact Information

To facilitate immediate contact with parents/guardians on such occasions, the Board requires parents/guardians to furnish the schools with the current information specified below:

  1. Home address and telephone number.
  2. Parent/guardian's business address and telephone number.
  3. Name, address and telephone number of a local relative or friend who is authorized by the parent/guardian to care for the student in cases of emergency when the parent/guardian cannot be reached.
  4. Local physician to call in case of emergency.

Referral to Community Resources

School personnel, except those possessing a special services type C certificate, should not recommend that a parent or guardian seek services from a specific physician, psychologist, or other health specialist. Violations of this policy may result in disciplinary action.

School personnel may provide a community resource list that identifies community medical and mental health resources. The Superintendent is responsible for ensuring that any list of community providers complies with legal requirements.
