Medically Fragile. When a general education classroom teacher is assigned a medically fragile student, the teacher shall not be expected to perform routine, scheduled maintenance of a medical appliance or apparatus used by the student to sustain his/her bodily functions nor render routine, scheduled care or maintenance of exceptional bodily functions related to the student's impaired condition. The teacher shall be informed and instructed as to emergency measures which may be necessary on occasion due to the student's impaired condition.
Medically Fragile. No bargaining unit member shall be required to provide school health services except in an emergency.
Medically Fragile. In the event a medically fragile student is enrolled in the Napoleon School District, the parties agree to negotiate, upon the request of either party, the working conditions associated with servicing the student(s).
Medically Fragile. Absent an emergency, medically fragile students are those who are chronically ill, and/or medical technology dependent, and/or have life threatening conditions that require immediate medical attention. On a case-by-case basis, based upon the recommendation of the IEPC, the district will determine what supplementary aides, support personnel, and other related services deemed necessary should be provided to the teacher providing direct instruction to the medically fragile student. When a teacher is assigned a student in or from a Special Education program for severely impaired students (POHI, SXI, SMI, EMI, TMI, autistic, medically fragile),the teacher shall not be expected to perform routine scheduled care or maintenance of exceptional bodily functions related to the student's impaired condition. The classroom instructor or any other adult who may be present at any time when instruction or any other services are being provided, will be instructed by a medical professional with written instructions provided as to any emergency measure which may be necessary on occasion due to a student's impaired condition. No teacher will be expected to perform any non-emergency care. The addition of the handicapped or otherwise medically fragile student to the education classroom will not, in any way, disrupt nor have a negative impact on the educational process for either the handicapped student or the other students in the class. Class size may be adjusted in inclusive education classrooms in order to accommodate increased individualized attention for the handicapped or medically fragile students and for the students in the program. The receiving classroom teacher must be invited in writing to be party to any IEP involving any medically fragile student in their charge. If any teacher has a reasonable basis to believe that a handicapped student's current IEP is not meeting the student's unique needs, as required by law, the teacher will advise his/her principal of that opinion in writing. No bargaining unit member will be threatened, disciplined, reprimanded, punished, discharged, or denied any professional advantage, directly or indirectly, by the Employer due in any way to the bargaining unit member having:
1. Filed a complaint under Part 8 of the Michigan Special Education Rules or with the Office of Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education, or
2. Asserted his/her rights or those of a handicapped/non-handicapped student with respect to the provision of the Least Rest...

b. provide the employee with written instructions as to the procedure;
c. provides the name and telephone number of person, parent or physician, that can be contacted for assistance. The District acknowledges that the contact of these persons may be affected by the means available to the driver such as, being out of radio or cellular phone range, as well as the immediate responsibilities to the students and safety.
Medically Fragile. No bargaining unit member, unless on a voluntary basis and with Board provided appropriate training, shall be required to provide school health services.
Medically Fragile. When a teacher is assigned a medically fragile student, the teacher shall not be required, except in an emergency, to perform routine scheduled maintenance of a medical appliance or apparatus used by the student to sustain his/her bodily functions, nor, except in an emergency, to render scheduled care or maintenance to help with any bodily functions which would not ordinarily be administered to a non-medically fragile student. In a situation where it is required that a student be lifted or transported, the teacher may request assistance, such assistance shall not be unreasonably denied.
