STUDENT IMMUNIZATIONS
The Evansville Community School District requires each student to present evidence of completed basic and recall (booster) series immunizations unless the student, if an adult, or the parent, guardian or legal custodian of a minor student submits a written waiver based on health, religious, or personal conviction reasons to the District.
In accordance with state law, all students enrolled in grades 4K-12 shall meet immunization requirements. Immunizations are required for measles, rubella, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, tetanus, mumps, hepatitis B, and varicella (chicken pox).
The District shall follow the timelines set forth by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services for ensuring compliance with the immunization requirements. If the compliance level is less than 99%, noncompliant students shall be excluded from school by the building principal under the conditions and to the extent authorized by law.
The District will utilize the Wisconsin Immunization Registry to ensure accurate immunization records and maintain district compliance with state law.
The District recognizes that this policy will not act as a barrier to students qualifying under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act.
