The District will annually distribute to parents or guardians of all students the Emergency Medical Authorization form. In the event emergency medical treatment for a student is necessary, the District will adhere to the instructions on the authorization form.

Emergency medical authorization will be kept in a separate, easily accessible file in each school building during the school year. At the end of the school year, the authorizations will be stored with the student's cumulative records.

Any time a student or a group of students are taken out of the District as participants in a school event, the staff in charge of the event must take the Emergency Medical Authorizations for those students. This includes, and is not limited to, music trips, athletic trips, field trips, and academic contest participants. This does not include student spectators at events.

Whenever it is necessary for staff members to use emergency procedures in order to care properly for a student, they are to follow the procedures described in the Superintendent's administrative guidelines and are not to abide by any "Do Not Resuscitate" (DNR) agreement that may exist for a student.
