The District will distribute annually to parents or guardians of all students the Emergency Medical Authorization form or obtain a completed form from the student's constituent local district.

In the event emergency medical treatment for a student is necessary, the District will adhere to the instructions on the authorization form.

Emergency medical authorizations will be kept in a separate, easily accessible file at central office 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 is taken out of the District to participate in a District-related event, the staff in charge of the event must take the Emergency Medical Authorizations for those students.

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, unless ordered to do so by a court of law.
