411.9 - Classified Employee Physical Examinations

Good health is important to job performance. Employees shall present evidence of

good health, in the form of a physical examination report, within thirty (30) days of their initial employment with the school district. A physical examination report is required every three years thereafter, except for bus drivers. School bus drivers shall present evidence of good health annually every other year, unless a doctor requires otherwise, in the form of a physical examination report.

Employees whose physical or mental health, in the judgment of the administration, may be in doubt shall submit to additional examinations, when requested to do so, at the expense of the school district.

The form indicating the employee is able to perform the duties for which the employee was hired, must be returned prior to the first paycheck for that year. The cost of an employee's physical renewals as required every three years will be paid by the school district up to a maximum of one hundred and twenty dollars ($120.00). The school district shall provide the standard examination form to be completed by the personal physician of the employee. Employees identified as having reasonably anticipated contact with blood or infectious materials shall receive the Hepatitis B vaccine or sign a waiver stating that they will not take the vaccine.

The superintendent shall be responsible for writing an exposure control plan to eliminate or minimize the district occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens. The plan for designated employees shall include, but not be limited to, scope and application, definitions, exposure control, methods of compliance,

Hepatitis B vaccination with post-exposure evaluation and follow-up, communication of hazards to employees, and recordkeeping.
