Students: Contagious Diseases

Abstract:
Upon notification of an HIV-infected student, the superintendent shall appoint an AIDS review committee. This committee shall have the responsibility of recommending schooling options for the student and identifying any precautions that need to be taken to assure no risk to others. The committee consists of the Director of Special Programs, school nurse, school principal, public health official, student's physician, and the student's parents. Emphasis shall be placed on ensuring minimum impact on the educational program of the student. In the event the decision is made to exclude the student from regular classes, an alternative program shall be provided. The persons informed of the student's condition shall be limited to the minimum. Standard procedures to avoid the spread disease should be used when cleaning up body fluid spills.
