Immunizations

In order to safeguard the school community from the spread of certain communicable diseases and in recognition that prevention is a means of combating the spread of disease, the District requires a student to present evidence of his/her having been immunized against diseases as required by Chapter 28A.210 RCW and Chapter 246-105 WAC.

 

Exemptions from Immunization

The District will allow for exemptions from immunization requirements only as allowed for by RCW 28A.210.090 and WAC 246-105-050.

 

Meningococcal Disease, Human Papilloma Virus Disease and Vaccine Information Distribution

At the beginning of every school year, the district will provide parents/guardians of sixth through twelfth grade students, information provided by the Washington State Department of Health about meningococcal disease, human papilloma virus (HPV) disease, and their vaccines.

The information will include the causes and symptoms of meningococcal disease and human papilloma virus, how the diseases are spread, the places where parents/guardians may obtain additional information and vaccinations for their children, and current recommendations from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding the vaccines.

 

Exclusion from School

The district will exclude students as required in RCW 28A.210.120 and WAC 392-380-045 from further presence at the school who are out of compliance with the immunization requirements.    

The Superintendent will adopt procedures necessary to implement this policy.
