The medical review team shall provide for the examination of the bargaining unit member and may obtain, upon written, voluntary authorization of the bargaining unit member, all relevant and pertinent medical information from the bargaining unit member's personal physician. b. The report rendered by the medical review team shall be restricted to an evaluation of the bargaining unit member's medical condition and shall clearly state: (1) Whether or not the bargaining unit member has been infected with a chronic communicable disease as alleged in the report to the Superintendent. If so, then the medical review team shall determine: (a) Whether or not the bargaining unit member's current medical condition imposes a substantial health risk to others in the school environment and the rationale for the finding. In making that determination, the medical review team shall consider: (i) The nature of the risk of the bargaining unit member's medical condition (how the disease is transmitted); (ii) The duration of the medical condition (how long is the carrier infectious); (iii) The severity of the risk of the medical condition (what is the potential harm to third parties); and (iv) The probability the disease will be transmitted and will cause varying degrees of harm. (b) Whether or not the bargaining unit member is otherwise qualified to remain in his/her current job. "Otherwise qualified" means that the bargaining unit member is able to meet all of the job requirements in spite of the bargaining unit member's medical condition.
