STAFF PERSONAL SECURITY AND SAFETY

Through its overall safety program and policies pertaining to school personnel, the Committee will seek to assure the safety of employees during their working hours and assist them in the main­tenance of good health.

Prior to employment in the school system, all employees will submit evidence of freedom from tuberculosis, as specified by state law. Additional physical examinations will also be required of bus drivers and food handlers as state law or regulations require.

The Superintendent may require an employee to submit to a physical examination by a physician appointed by the school system whenever that employee's condition reasonably appears to pose a health or safety risk to children or others in the school system, or when a doctor's certificate is needed to verify need for sick leave or other extended absence or leave.
