Policy JLCA
Physical Examinations of Students
School Board Approved: April 7, 2014
Each child must have a complete and current (within one year) physical examination completed by a licensed physician, physician’s assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse prior to first entry into the school. Exams done by a chiropractor are not acceptable. The Board also requires physical exams be completed prior to entrance to middle school and again prior to entrance to high school. No medical examination shall be required of a child whose parent of guardian objects thereto in writing and submits a notarized statement on the grounds that such medical examination is contrary to his/her religious tenets and teachings.
Failure to comply with this provision will result in the child’s exclusion from school.
All students participating in athletics must have a physical examination in accordance with the provisions of Board Policy.
