Accommodating Individual Circumstances: High Risk, Personal Decisions
High Risk Identification Process:
- We will work closely with families and the school/district nurse, special education staff, and/or the school psychologist to review and revise health care/504/IEP plans with special consideration to mitigating risk.
- All staff interacting with these students will be notified of needs identified in individual plans.
Minimizing and mitigating risk for employees who identify as high-risk:
- We will coordinate with Human Resources to support employees identifying as high-risk
