The School Board recognizes that there may be cases where denying admission is necessary because a student's presence in school presents a danger to the life, safety or health of students or school personnel.

The Board may exclude students from school because of a physical or mental condition which will render the student unable to reasonably benefit from the programs available or which will cause the attendance of the student to be harmful to the welfare of other students.

The admission or continued attendance of a student with an infectious disease, unvaccinated students or students at risk of infection shall be determined by the Superintendent in accordance with current medical and educational standards.  The Superintendent shall consult with the student's parent/guardian and/or other appropriate medical and state health personnel as necessary when making this determination.

(cf. 5141.22 - Infectious Diseases)
(cf. 6164.3 - Student Mental Health - Medication and Services

Students and their parents/guardians will be afforded due process rights to which they are entitled by law, board policy or administrative regulations.
