In compliance with law, the Board of Education may require students to submit to periodic health examinations to:
| A. | protect the school community from the spread of communicable disease; | |
| B. | determine that each student's participation in health, safety, and physical education courses meets his/her individual needs; | |
| C. | determine that the learning potential of each child is not lessened by a remediable, physical disability. |
The District shall specify the need for services which may include, but not be limited to student physical examinations; athlete physical examinations; dental examinations; tests for communicable disease; vision screening; scoliosis test; and audiometric screening.
Any health services program should also include instruction to staff members on the observance of students for conditions that indicate physical defect or disability.
