The District, while not responsible for medical treatment of an ill or injured student, will have employees present administer treatment and/or emergency or minor first aid if possible. An ill or injured child will be turned over to the care of the parents or qualified medical employees as quickly as possible.
Whenever possible, parents will be notified by phone and instructions will be requested as to the disposition of the case. When the parent or alternate emergency persons have no telephone or cannot be reached, the ill or injured child shall be transported home, to the hospital, or to a doctor's office by a member of the school staff.
In cases of emergency, the pupil shall be transported to a hospital or a doctor's office by ambulance or other transportation. If possible the family physician listed on the office records shall be contacted.
It is the responsibility of the Principal/Designee to file an accident report with the Superintendent within twenty-four (24) hours after the student is injured.
Annually, parents are 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.
