Physical Examination
< Back
All new employees of the Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools shall have a physical examination, or submit proof of an examination within the past 90 days. The physical examination shall include a screening questionnaire for tuberculosis approved by the department of health services and, if indicated, a test to determine the presences or absences of tuberculosis in a communicable form. If the employee is found to have communicable tuberculosis, the employee's employment shall be declared void in compliance with state law. Employee physical examinations required by the Board of Education shall be paid for by the District in accordance with the current District practice and Wisconsin Statutes.
An employee may be exempt from the physical examination requirement for religious reasons only if an affidavit has been filed with the District claiming such an exemption. If there is reasonable cause to believe that such employee is suffering from an illness detrimental to the health of pupils, a health examination may be required to determine whether or not the employee is suffering from such an illness.
Certificates of examination shall be maintained in the Human Resources Office in a separate medical personnel file with any recommendations from the employee's physician.
- Examination: Upon initial employment and at intervals determined by the Board, physical examinations shall be required of District employees in accordance with Wis. Stats. § 118.25. Upon initial employment, evidence that employees are of sound health, sufficient to perform the essential functions of their assignment, is necessary to make binding the offer of employment with the District.
- Fitness for Duty: A physical and/or mental examination may be required (at District expense) when the District believes reasonable doubt exists concerning the current ability of an employee to perform his or her duties, or a risk of harm is presented to the employee, co-workers, or students. Failure or refusal to comply with this request, or failure to provide a doctor’s certification of health may result in termination.
