disease, or of a household exposed to such contagion from another household as aforesaid, shall not attend any public school during such illness until the teacher of the school has been furnished with a certificate from the board of health of the city or town, from the attending physician of such person, stating that the danger of conveying such disease by such child is past."
MEDICAL INSPECTION
(Acts of 1906, Chapter 502)
From Section 1. "The school committee of every city and town in the Commonwealth shall appoint one or more school physicians, shall assign one to each public school within its city or town, and shall provide them with all proper facilities for the performance of their duties. ... "
From Section 2. "Every school physician shall make a prompt examination and diagnosis of all children referred to him as hereinafter provided, and such further examination of teach- ers, janitors, and school buildings as in his opinion the protection of the pupils may require."
From Section 3. "The school committee shall cause to be referred to a school committee for examination and diagnosis, every child returning to school without a certificate from the board of health, after absence on account of illness or unknown cause; and every child in the schools under its jurisdiction, who shows signs of being in ill health, or of suffering from infectious or contagious disease, unless he is at once excluded by the teacher."
From Section 4. "The school committee shall cause notice of the disease or defects, if any, from which any child is found to be suffering, to be sent to his parent or guardian. Whenever a child shows symptoms of smallpox, scarlet fever, measles, chicken pox, tuberculosis, diphtheria, or influenza, tonsilitis, whooping cough, mumps, scabies, or trachoma, he shall be sent
159
TOWN OF WAYLAND
home immediately, or as soon as safe and proper conveyance can be found, and the board of health shall at once be notified."
From Section 5. "The school committee of every city and town shall cause every child in the public schools to be separately and carefully tested and examined at least once every school year, to ascertain whether he is suffering from defective sight or hearing, or from any other disability or defect, tending to prevent his receiving the full benefit of his school work, or requiring a modification of the school work, in order to prevent injury to the child, or to secure the best educational results. The tests of sight and hearing shall be made by teachers. The committee shall cause notice of any defect or disability requiring treatment to be sent to the parent or guardian of the child, and shall require a physical record of each child to be kept in such form as the state board of ecucation shall prescribe."
From Section 7. "The expense which a city or town may incur ... shall not exceed the amount appropriated for that purpose. . .. The appropriation shall precede any expenditure or any indebtedness which may be incurred under this act, and the sum appropriated shall be deemed a sufficient appropria- tion."
