8450 - CONTROL OF COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
The Board of Education recognizes that control of the spread of communicable disease is essential to the well-being of the school community and to the efficient operation of the schools.
In order to protect the health and safety of the students, school personnel, and the community at large, the Board shall follow all State statutes and Board of Health regulations which pertain to communicable disease.
On the recommendation of the school nurse, the teacher may exclude from the classroom and the principal may exclude from the building or isolate in the school any student who appears to be ill or has been exposed to a communicable disease, except that the teacher or principal may act independently if neither the school physician nor the school nurse is present in the building.
The Superintendent shall develop procedures for the control of communicable disease which shall include:
| A. | instruction of teaching staff members in the detection of disease and measures for its prevention and control; | |
| B. | removal from school property to the care of a responsible adult of students identified and excluded in accordance with this policy; | |
| C. | preparation of standards for the readmission of students who have recovered from communicable diseases; | |
| D. | filing of reports as required by statute and the State Department of Health. |
