Policy 521 - Immunization of Students

The purpose of this policy is to ensure the health and safety of all students by requiring that all students receive proper immunizations as mandated by law.

A. The Board of Education of the Wayzata Public Schools supports the prevention of disease through immunization of children as required by law. Accordingly, the School Board authorizes the Superintendent of Schools or designee to develop appropriate regulations to comply with the School Immunization Law.

B. The School Immunization Law requires students enrolling or attending public schools to provide documentation of immunizations required by the Minnesota Department of Public Health. No student will be allowed to enroll or attend the Wayzata Public Schools without first having presented evidence of compliance with the statute that requires immunization or documented exemptions for medical or conscientiously held beliefs of his/her parent or guardian.

C. The Superintendent of Schools or designee is hereby authorized to exclude any pupil from school attendance for noncompliance with immunization requirements. The student shall remain excluded from attendance until the student has complied with statutorily required
immunizations.
