507.4 - Student Illness or Injury at School

When a student becomes ill or is injured at school, the school district will attempt to notify the student's parents as soon as possible.

The school district, while not responsible for medical treatment of an ill or injured student, will have employees present administer emergency or minor first aid if possible.  An ill or injured student will be turned over to the care of the student’s parents or qualified medical employees as quickly as possible.

It shall be the responsibility of the employee to file an accident report with the superintendent within twenty-four hours after the student is injured at school.

Annually, parents shall be required to complete a medical emergency authorization form indicating the procedures to be followed, if possible, in an emergency involving their child.  The authorization form will also include the phone numbers of the parents and alternative numbers to call in case of an injury or illness.

The superintendent shall be responsible, in conjunction with the school nurse,  to develop rules and regulations governing the procedure in the event a student should become ill or be injured at school.
