  Health and Safety Related to Concussions

  The TBI – Return to Learn Policy has been created to assist LEAs and Charters in the development of a plan that address the needs of student's preschool through twelfth grade suffering concussions. The plan must include:

  1. guidelines for removal of a student from physical and mental activity when there is suspicion of concussion;
  2. a notification procedure to education staff regarding removal from learn or play;
  3. expectations regarding annual medical care update from parents, medical care plan/school accommodations in the event of concussion; and
  4. delineation of requirements for safe return-to-learn or play following concussion.
