Ohio Rev Code § 3313.712 (2019) (N/A)
Copy with citation
Copy as parenthetical citation

As used in this section, "parent" means parent as defined in section 3321.01 of the Revised Code.

(A) Annually the board of education of each city, exempted village, local, and joint vocational school district shall, before the first day of October, provide to the parent of every pupil enrolled in schools under the board's jurisdiction, an emergency medical authorization form that is an identical copy of the form contained in division (B) of this section. Thereafter, the board shall, within thirty days after the entry of any pupil into a public school in this state for the first time, provide his parent, either as part of any registration form which is in use in the district, or as a separate form, an identical copy of the form contained in division (B) of this section. When the form is returned to the school with Part I or Part II completed, the school shall keep the form on file, and shall send the form to any school of a city, exempted village, local, or joint vocational school district to which the pupil is transferred. Upon request of his parent, authorities of the school in which the pupil is enrolled may permit the parent to make changes in a previously filed form, or to file a new form. If a parent does not wish to give such written permission, he shall indicate in the proper place on the form the procedure he wishes school authorities to follow in the event of a medical emergency involving his child. Even if a parent gives written consent for emergency medical treatment, when a pupil becomes ill or is injured and requires emergency medical treatment while under school authority, or while engaged in an extra-curricular activity authorized by the appropriate school authorities, the authorities of his school shall make reasonable attempts to contact the parent before treatment is given. The school shall present the pupil's emergency medical authorization form or copy thereof to the hospital or practitioner rendering treatment. Nothing in this section shall be construed to impose liability on any school official or school employee who, in good faith, attempts to comply with this section.
