4160 - PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
The Board requires any candidate who has been offered employment in a position that involves contact with children or preparation of food for children, as a condition of employment, to submit to an examination, including a tuberculosis screening questionnaire. Additional testing may be required to assure freedom from tuberculosis in communicable form. Such examinations shall be done in accordance with 118.25 Wis. Stats., the Superintendent's guidelines, and/or the terms of the collective bargaining agreement.
The Superintendent may establish additional physical examination requirements for positions requiring particular demands or as may otherwise be required by law. Any fitness for duty examination shall be job-related and out of necessity for safe and proper performance of job duties.
Freedom from tuberculosis in a communicable form is a condition of employment.
Employees will be required to execute a release that complies with the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act in order to allow the report of the medical examination to be released to the Board/Superintendent and to allow the Superintendent to speak to the health care provider who conducted the medical examination in order to get clarification (see Form 4160 F2).
Reports of all such examinations or evaluations shall be delivered to the Superintendent, who shall protect their confidentiality. Reports will be discussed with the employee or candidate. In compliance with the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) and Board Policy 4122.02, the successful candidate who is required to submit to a medical examination, as well as the medical health care provider that is designated by the Board to conduct the examination, are directed not to collect genetic information or provide any genetic information, including the candidate’s family medical history, in the report of the medical examination.
Employees will be notified of the results of the medical examination upon receipt. Any and all reports of such examination will be maintained in a separate confidential personnel file in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended ("ADA") and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA).
In the event of a report of a condition that could influence job performance, the Superintendent shall base a nonemployment recommendation to the Board upon a conference with the examining physician and substantiation that the condition is directly correlated to defined job responsibilities and reasonable accommodation will not allow the employee or prospective employee to adequately fulfill those responsibilities. Freedom from tuberculosis in a communicable form is a condition of employment.
The Board shall assume any fees for required examinations.
