8121 First Aid

FIRST AID

In the event of sudden illness or injury of a student or a staff person, the school is responsible for seeing that first aid or emergency treatment is provided.

Treatment is limited to first aid care only until authorized treatment is secured. First aid procedures are based on the assumption that arrangements will be made to secure medical aid immediately.

Following first aid, the student will be placed under the care of her/his parents, guardian, or authorized adult who will be responsible for any subsequent treatment.
