507.1 Student Health and Immunization Certifications

STUDENT HEALTH AND IMMUNIZATION CERTIFICATES

Students desiring to participate in athletic activities or enrolling in kindergarten or first grade in the school district shall have a physical examination by a licensed physician and provide proof of such an examination to the school district. A physical examination and proof of such an examination may be required by the administration for students in other grades enrolling for the first time in the school district.

A certificate of health stating the results of a physical examination and signed by the physician shall be on file at the attendance center. Each student shall submit an up-to-date certificate of health upon the request of the superintendent. Failure to provide this information may be grounds for disciplinary action.

Students enrolling for the first time in the school district shall also submit a certificate of immunization against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, poliomyelitis, rubeola, rubella, and other immunizations required by law. The student may be admitted conditionally to the attendance center if the student has not yet completed the immunization process but is in the process of doing so. Failure to meet the immunization requirement will be grounds for suspension, expulsion or denial of admission. Upon recommendation of the Iowa Department of Education and Iowa Department of Public Health, students entering the district for the first time may be required to pass a TB test prior to admission. The district may conduct TB tests of current students.

Exemptions from the immunization requirement in this policy will be allowed only for medical or religious reasons recognized under the law. The student must provide a valid Iowa State Department of Health Certificate of Immunization Exemption to be exempt from this policy.

WELLNESS POLICY

The board promotes healthy students by supporting wellness, good nutrition and regular physical activity as a part of the total learning environment. The school district supports a healthy environment where students learn and participate in positive dietary and lifestyle practices. By facilitating learning through the support and promotion of good nutrition and physical activity, schools contribute to the basic health status of students. Improved health optimizes student performance potential.

The school district provides a comprehensive learning environment for developing and practicing lifelong wellness behaviors. The entire school environment, not just the classroom, shall be aligned with healthy school district goals to positively influence a student's understanding, beliefs and habits as they relate to good nutrition and regular physical activity.

The school district supports and promotes proper dietary habits contributing to students' health status and academic performance. Foods available on school grounds and at school-sponsored activities during the instructional day should meet or exceed the school district, state, and the USDA Smart Snacks in School nutritional standards. Foods should be served with consideration toward nutritional integrity, variety, appeal, taste, safety and packaging to ensure high-quality meals.

The school district will make every effort to eliminate any social stigma attached to, and prevent the overt identification of, students who are eligible for free and reduced-price meals. Toward this end, the school district may utilize electronic identification and payment systems; promote the availability of meals to all students regardless of income; and/or use nontraditional methods for serving meals.

The school district has developed a local wellness policy that included parents, students, representatives of the school food authority, the school board, school administrators, and the public in its development. The wellness policy includes a plan to implement, measure, and monitor the effectiveness of the policy. The policy designates that all of the Building Principals will monitor implementation and report to the Superintendent and Food Service Director. The Superintendent shall report annually to the board of education for evaluation of the policy.

Specific Wellness Goals:

Nutrition Education and Promotion:

The school district will provide nutrition education and engage in nutrition promotion. Health education curriculum will be provided at each grade level. The curriculum will provide knowledge and skills necessary to promote and protect their health.

Physical Activity requirements by the State of Iowa according to the Healthy Kids Act took effect July 1, 2009.

Physical Activity:

Grades K- 5 will receive 30 minutes per day of physical activity
Grades 6-12 will receive 120 minutes per week of physical activity in which there are at least 5 days that week
Every pupil who is physically able to do so will complete a certification course for cardiopulmonary resuscitation by the end of grade 12.
Recess is preferably outdoors
Encourage moderate to vigorous physical activity
Discourage extended periods of inactivity

“Physical activity” means any movement, manipulation, or exertion of the body that can lead to

improved levels of physical fitness and quality of life.

For students to receive the nationally recommended amount of daily physical activity and for students to fully embrace regular physical activity as a personal behavior, students need opportunities for physical activity beyond the physical education class. Toward that end, the school district will:
offer classroom health education that complements physical education
reinforce the knowledge and self-management needed to maintain a physically active lifestyle
reduce time spent on sedentary activities

The school district values the health and well-being of every staff member and will plan and implement activities that support personal efforts by staff to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Staff members are encouraged to model healthy lifestyle habits. The district will provide helpful tools as needed to staff, parents, and students as provided by the Iowa Department of Education Healthy Kids Act in their Training Toolkit. More information can be found at https://www.educateiowa.gov/pk-12/learner-supports/healthy-kids-act

The USDA Smart Snacks for Schools requires that all foods/beverages sold on campus from midnight through 30 minutes after the last bell of the school day must follow these requirements. To determine qualification enter each food item into the nutritional calculator (see link below) provided by the Iowa Department of Education/USDA and print out the reported results.

https://schools.healthiergeneration.org/focus_areas/snacks_and_beverages/smart_snacks/alliance_product_calculator/

This report shall be submitted to the Food Service Director before the items are sold. These nutritional reports are being monitored by the Iowa Department of Education.

To ensure that all children have breakfast, either at home or at school, in order to meet their nutritional needs and enhance their ability to learn, the school will:
operate the breakfast program according to USDA guidelines
notify parents and students of the availability of the School Breakfast Program
encourage parents to provide a healthy breakfast for their children

As an amendment of the Healthy Kids Act Section 273.2, Code 2007 of Section 143, the board of an area education agency or a consortium of two or more area education agencies shall contract with one or more licensed dieticians for the support of nutritional provisions in individual education plans developed in accordance with chapter 256B and to provide information to support school nutrition coordinators as needed. As part of the school district’s responsibility to operate a food service program, the school district will:
provide continuing professional development for all nutrition professionals
encourage parents to include healthy foods and snacks in lunches brought from home(An addition to the handbook will include a policy for no pop, energy drinks, and other non-nutritional beverages.Only clear water bottles will be allowed.)
encourage staff to model healthy eating habits by choosing healthy foods and beverages

At the high school level there will be a variety of healthy choices of foods and beverages for foods sold individually via A la carte outside the reimbursable meal programs. These choices, along with all foods/beverages sold to students, including fundraisers, will follow the nutritional requirements of the Healthy Kids Act that took effect July 1, 2010 and the USDA Smart Snacks in School that is effective July 1, 2014 following their chart below:

507.2 Administration of Medication to Students

ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION TO STUDENTS

The Board is committed to the inclusion of all students in the education program and recognizes that some students may need prescription and nonprescription medication to participate in their educational program.

Medication shall be administered when the student’s parent or guardian (hereafter “parent”) provides a signed and dated written statement requesting medication administration, and the medication is in the original labeled container, either as dispensed or in the manufacturer’s container.

When the administration of the medication requires ongoing professional health judgment, an individual health plan shall be developed by the licensed health practitioner with the student and the student’s parent. Students who have demonstrated competence in administering their own medications may self-administer their medication. A written statement by the student’s parent shall be on file requesting co-administration (student administration) of medication, when competence has been demonstrated. By law, students with asthma or other airway constricting diseases or students at risk of anaphylaxis who use epinephrine auto-injectors may self-administer their medication upon the written approval of the student’s parents and prescribing licensed health care professional regardless of competency

Persons administering medication shall include the licensed registered nurse, parent, physician, and persons who have successfully completed a medication administration course reviewed by the Board of Pharmacy Examiners. A medication administration course and periodic update shall be conducted by a registered nurse or licensed pharmacist and record of course completion kept on file at the agency.

A written medication administration record shall be on file including:

date
student’s name
prescriber or person authorizing administration
medication
medication dosage
administration time
administration method
signature and title of the person administering medication, and
any unusual circumstances, actions or omissions

Medication shall be stored in a secured area unless an alternate provision is documented. Emergency protocols for medication-related reactions shall be posted. Medication information shall be confidential information as provided by law.

Disposal of unused, discontinued/recalled, or expired medication shall be in compliance with federal and state law. Prior to disposal school personnel shall make a reasonable attempt to return medication by providing written notification that expired, discontinued, or unused medication needs to be picked up. If medication is not picked up by the date specified, disposal shall be in accordance with disposal procedures for specific category of medication.

NOTE: Iowa law requires school districts to allow students with asthma or other airway constricting disease to carry and self-administer their medication as long as the parents and prescribing physician report and approve in writing. Students do not have to prove competency to the school district. The consent form, see 507.2E1 is all that is required. School districts that determine students are abusing their self-administration may either withdraw the self-administration if medically advisable or discipline the student, or both.

507.3 Communicable Diseases - Students

Code No. 507.3

COMMUNICABLE DISEASES - STUDENTS

Students with a communicable disease will be allowed to attend school provided their presence does not create a substantial risk of illness or transmission to other students or employees. The term "communicable disease" shall mean an infectious or contagious disease spread from person to person, or animal to person, or as defined by law.

Prevention and control of communicable diseases shall be included in the school district's bloodborne pathogens exposure control plan. The procedures shall include scope and application, definitions, exposure control, methods of compliance, universal precautions, vaccination, post-exposure evaluation, follow-up, communication of hazards to employees and record keeping. This plan shall be reviewed annually by the superintendent and school nurse.

The health risk to immuno-depressed students shall be determined by their personal physician. The health risk to others in the school district environment from the presence of a student with a communicable disease shall be determined on a case-by-case basis by the student's personal physician, a physician chosen by the school district or public health officials.

Since there may be greater risks of transmission of a communicable disease for some persons with certain conditions than for other persons infected with the same disease, these special conditions: the risk of transmission of the disease, the effect upon the education program, the effect upon the student, and other factors deemed relevant by public health officials or the superintendent shall be considered in assessing the student's’ continued attendance at school. The superintendent may require medical evidence that students with a communicable disease are able to attend school.

A student who is at school and who has a communicable disease which creates a substantial risk of harm to other students, employees, or others at school shall report the condition to the superintendent any time the student is aware that the disease actively creates such risk.

Health data of a student is confidential and it shall not be disseminated. In compliance with FERPA, health data shall be shared with staff on a “need to know” basis as described in FERPA regulations.

It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent, in conjunction with the school nurse, to develop administrative regulations stating the procedures for dealing with students with a communicable disease.
