Students with HIV-Related Illness

Abstract:
The model policy addresses the issues that should be included in a school district policy on HIV-infected students. The policy states that HIV-infected students will not be denied the opportunity to attend school solely on the basis of their condition. It is also the policy of the board to prevent any student from being subjected to adverse or discriminatory treatment because of HIV infection. The superintendent must develop regulations in regard to the education of HIV-infected students and routine sanitary procedures for dealing with all blood and body fluid spills. In addition, the superintendent must develop and implement in-service education training for all school personnel regarding AIDS and HIV infection as well as the routine sanitary procedures.
