Board adopts Policy 549 to standardize concussion protocol districtwide
Summary
Trustees approved Board Policy 549 on concussion protocol as required by Senate Bill 80; District Nurse Jenn Tyndall said the policy covers all students and staff will receive 'Heads-up' training on use of the tool.
The board voted 7–0 on Sept. 10 to adopt Board Policy 549, a concussion protocol presented by District Nurse Jenn Tyndall to comply with Senate Bill 80.
Tyndall described the policy as districtwide and said it applies to students in all grades. She told trustees teachers will complete 'Heads-up' training so they know how to use the tool to identify and manage concussions; coaches and athletic trainers will manage 'return to play' decisions. Trustee Yvonne Wagstaff asked about staff training and Tyndall said teachers "only have to know how to use the tool." The motion to adopt the policy was seconded by Trustee Linda Gilkerson and passed unanimously.
