3160 - PHYSICAL EXAMINATION

The Board of Education requires any candidate, as a condition of employment, to submit to an examination, including a test for tuberculosis, in order to determine the physical capacity to perform assigned duties. Such examinations shall be done in accordance with 118.25 Wis. Stats.

Employees will be required to execute a release that complies with the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act in order to allow the report of the medical examination to be released to the Board/District Administrator and to allow the District Administrator or his/her designee to speak to the health care provider who conducted the medical examination in order to get clarification (see Form 3160 F2).

Reports of all such examinations or evaluations shall be delivered to the District Administrator, who shall protect their confidentiality. Reports will be discussed with the employee or candidate. In compliance with the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) and Board Policy 3122.02, the successful candidate who is required to submit to a medical examination, as well as the health care provider that is designated by the Board to conduct the examination, are directed not to collect genetic information or provide any genetic information, including the candidate’s family medical history, in the report of the medical examination.

Employees will be notified of the results of the medical examination upon receipt. Any and all reports of such examination will be maintained in a separate confidential personnel file in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended ("ADA") and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA).

In the event of a report of a condition that could influence job performance, the District Administrator shall base a nonemployment recommendation to the Board upon a conference with the examining physician and substantiation that the condition is directly correlated to defined job responsibilities and reasonable accommodation will not allow the employee or prospective employee to adequately fulfill those responsibilities. Freedom from tuberculosis in a communicable form is a condition of employment.

The Board shall assume the fees for examinations.
