As an add-on to my last post, it might seem there are conflicting renrtuemeqis in the section of your sample Policy that I quote below: If a concussion is confirmed, the student is not permitted to return to full participation in any school activities until medically cleared to do so by a licensed health care provider trained in concussion management. More than one evaluation by the student’s health care provider may be necessary before the student is cleared for full participation. In the first sentence, it states that the student must be cleared by a licensed health care provider trained in concussion management .In the second sentence, it states that more than one evaluation by the student’s health care provider may be necessary before the student is cleared for full participation .It is extremely unlikely these two are one and the same, and much more likely that the student has a family health care provider that normally sees the student, and is only seeing the concussion management provider because our Policy will require us to only accept clearance from such a provider. (unless we accept that the second statement is also permissible)I believe this will cause confusion as we move forward in this area if the Policy is left this way.
