School District of Auburndale

453.12 - ACCIDENT/MEDICAL TREATMENT

If a student is involved in an accident that results in an injury, normal and necessary first aid will be administered by directed school officials. If the injury should require further medical attention, every effort to contact the parents/guardians or other designated emergency contact person will be made. The School District of Auburndale utilizes the Marshfield Fire Department Ambulance Service and St. Joseph's Hospital for emergency care of students/staff.

When an injury occurs, the respective Building Principals and the Medical Assistant are to be notified and an accident report (form P1-1945) must be completed by the teacher/coach who was present at the time of the injury or the Medical Assistant. Copies of these accident reports are sent to he district's liability insurance carrier on a monthly basis.

For illnesses occurring at school, the Medical Assistant or office secretary at the appropriate school will telephone the parents to arrange for the child's transportation home. When the parents cannot be reached, we will phone the emergency contact person.
