414 Medical Examination 414. MEDICAL EXAMINATION The Board requires that all persons, prior to employment by the Board and as a requirement of law, have a medical examination. This exam shall be at the applicant's expense and shall be performed by a licensed health care provider of the employee's choice. The results shall be recorded on forms prescribed by the Secretary of Health and shall be made available to the employing authorities. A health examination shall mean a general examination by a licensed health care provider. A licensed health care provider shall mean a licensed physician assistant, a licensed certified nurse practitioner, or a licensed physician. Each school employee and any person providing services for school children under contract shall be given a test for tuberculosis in accordance with rules and regulations of the Advisory Health Board. Each student teacher and long-term volunteer participating in student activities shall be given the same tests for tuberculosis. An alternative method of testing shall be administered if sufficient reason is given for being excused from a particular test. The Board will accept an affidavit in lieu of an examination where circumstances warrant such action. The Board may require a special medical examination for any school employee at any time. When such a request is made by the Board the exam shall be performed at the Board's expense. The results of all required medical examinations shall be made known to the Superintendent on a confidential basis and discussed with the employee. Such medical records shall be kept in a file separate from the employee's personnel file. In the event of an unsatisfactory report, the Superintendent shall follow Board policy relating to "Disqualification by Reason of Health." (Pol. 415)
