Students shall be urged to have a physical examination and to submit a report from the examining physician on a form provided by the District prior to enrollment.

The District shall provide due process of law to students and Parents/Guardians through written procedures consistent with law for denial of admission to a student. The policy and procedures for denial of admission shall be the same as those for student suspension and expulsion inasmuch as the same section of the law governs these areas.
