Immunization of Students
 

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 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 may 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 presented by law: 

 

• a written authorization signed by a parent/guardian requesting local public health officials administer the immunizations;
• a certificate of medical exemption;
• a certificate of completion of the online education module administered by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment; 
• or a certificate on nonmedical exemption. 

 

Students who do not submit an up to date certificate of immunization, written authorization signed by one parent/guardian requesting local public health officials to administer the immunizations, or a valid certificate of medical or nonmedical exemption will be suspended and/or expelled from school according to 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.
