Exemptions / Exenciones Expand

Parents may exclude their child from the screening by providing the school in advance with the results of the screening done by a medical doctor. A student is exempt from screening if it conflicts with the tenets and practices of a recognized church or religious denomination of which the student is an adherent or a member. The minor student’s parent, managing conservator, or guardian must submit a written affidavit stating the objections to screening. This affidavit shall be submitted to the school nurse on or before the day of the screening procedure each year the screening is performed.

Each school nurse will submit an annual report of the screening results to the Lead Nurse. Results are submitted to the Texas Department of State & Health Services every year.

Los padres pueden excluir a su hijo de la evaluación proporcionando a la escuela con anticipación los resultados de la evaluación realizada por un médico. Un estudiante está exento de evaluación si entra en conflicto con los principios y prácticas de una iglesia o denominación religiosa reconocida de la cual el estudiante es adherente o miembro. El padre, tutor conservador o tutor del alumno menor debe presentar una declaración jurada por escrito que indique las objeciones a la evaluación. Esta declaración jurada deberá presentarse a la enfermera de la escuela en o antes del día del procedimiento de evaluación cada año que se realice la evaluación.

Cada enfermera escolar presentará un informe anual de los resultados de la evaluación a la Enfermera Principal. Los resultados se presentan al Departamento de Estado y Servicios de Salud de Texas cada año.
