When AIDS Comes to My School

Abstract:
This comprehensive reference manual was provided as part of an Alabama conference designed to help local boards of education deal with issues related to HIV and AIDS, with particular emphasis on policy development. The manual includes: a monograph on policy issues related to the HIV epidemic (UAB School of Public Health), a legal overview from an Auburn law professor; a sample communicable disease policy modeled after the Michigan Department of Education model policy; a legal brief on applicable Alabama law (provided by a Birmingham law firm); a suggested policy excerpted from Someone at School Has AIDS (NASBE); Advice to School Superintendents: Planning for the Admission of Students with AIDS and Managing Potentially Adverse Community Reaction (Community Relations Service, U.S. Department of Justice); Coping with a Crisis: AIDS and other communicable diseases (Earl D. Gabriel, Michigan Association of School Boards); National PTA Resolution on AIDS and AIDS education; and MMWR guidelines for AIDS education. A conference agenda is included.
