EMERGENCY MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION (5341)
Annually, before the first day of October, the Board of Education will distribute to
parents or guardians of all students the Emergency Medical Authorization Form
(Form 5341 F1). Thereafter, the Board shall, within thirty (30) days after the entry
of any student for the first time into a public school in this State, provide the child's
parent with a copy of the Emergency Medical Authorization Form.

When the Form is returned to the District with either Part I or Part II completed, the
District shall keep the Form on file, and shall send the Form to any school to which
the student is transferred. Upon request of the student's parent, the District may
permit the parent to make changes in a previously filed Form, or to file a new Form.

In the event emergency medical treatment for a student is necessary, the District
will adhere to the instructions on the authorization form. If a parent refuses to
grant consent for emergency medical treatment, the parent must indicate in the
proper place on the Form (i.e., Part II) the procedure the parent wishes school
authorities to follow in the event of a medical emergency involving his/her child.

Even if a parent grants consent for emergency medical treatment, when a student
becomes ill or is injured and requires emergency medical treatment while under
school authority, or while engaged in an extra-curricular activity authorized by the
appropriate school authorities, the building administrator(s) shall make reasonable
attempts to contact the parent before treatment is given. The school representative
shall present the student's Emergency Medical Authorization Form or a copy thereof
to the hospital or practitioner rendering treatment.

The Emergency Medical Authorization Form will be kept in a separate, easily
accessible file in each school building during the school year.

Any time a student or a group of students is taken out of the District to participate
in a school event, the staff in charge of the event must take the Emergency Medical
