Health Examinations

Chest X-Ray or Intradermal Test

All employees upon initial employment shall present evidence of examination (chest x-ray, skin test, or other tests designated as acceptable by the county health department) to determine that they are free of active tuberculosis prior to commencing service and every four (4) years thereafter or more often if directed by the Board of Education upon recommendation of the local health officer.

Physical Examinations

Each new employee, other than day-to-day substitutes, tutors, and those who fill supplemental pay positions exclusively, shall have a physical examination by the physician of his/her choice prior, if possible, to assuming his/her duties and if not possible at least within thirty days of beginning work in the district.  The Board of Education will pay up to $75 per required physical examination.  The results of such examination shall be recorded by the examining physician on the form provided by the school and the completed form shall be retained in the employee's personnel file.

As necessary, the Superintendent may require a medical examination, to evaluate the employee's ability to perform assigned duties, of any certified employee whenever the Superintendent has grounds to believe that the performance of the employee is adversely affected by illness of any kind. Such additional medical examinations will be performed by a physician selected by the Superintendent, and the Board of Education will bear the costs of these examinations.
