The Board directs the Superintendent or designee(s) to annually provide parents/guardians of each student enrolled in the District a copy of the standardized immunization document developed by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The standardized immunization document includes a list of required and recommended immunizations and the age at which each immunization should be given, the school’s specific immunization and exemption rates for the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine [optional: the school may also include immunization and vaccination rates for any other vaccine] for the school’s enrolled student population for the previous school year compared to the vaccinated children standard, and a statement that the school is required to collect and report the information, but the school does not control the school’s specific immunization rates or establish the vaccinated children standard.
No student is permitted to attend or continue to attend any school in this District without meeting the legal requirements of immunization against disease unless the student has presented one of the following, as provided by law:
1. A certificate of medical exemption;
2. A certificate of nonmedical exemption.
Students who do not submit an up-to-date certificate of immunization or a valid certificate of medical or nonmedical exemption will be suspended and/or expelled from school according to this policy’s accompanying regulation (JLCB-R).
All information distributed to parents/guardians by the District will inform them of their rights to seek an exemption from immunization requirements.
