PROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL HEALTH EXAMINATIONS
The Board shall require all professional personnel to have a medical examination at the beginning of their employment. As a precondition of employment, the medical examination must include drug testing and the physician shall provide a statement that the candidate is free from drugs, or a written explanation as to the reason that drugs are being used shall be provided to the Assistant Superintendent for Personnel and Evaluation.

Evidence of freedom from communicable tuberculosis is a condition of employment for all full-time and part-time employees and all day-to-day substitutes employed by the Board. Such evidence shall be filed with the employee's personnel record and shall be renewed every three years.

The Board may also require additional examinations when an employee appears to be in less than normal physical or mental health. All health examinations shall be made by physicians acceptable to the Board. Pre-employment examinations and other examinations as may be required shall be at the expense of the Board.
