The Board and Superintendent recognize the need to provide a guide to District employees who under certain circumstances may accommodate scholars who do not wish to receive and/or may not benefit from cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This policy is intended to facilitate kind, humane, and compassionate service for scholars who have executed a valid do not resuscitate ("DNR") order.
A parent/guardian, declarant, or patient advocate can request, in writing, a DNR order for their District scholar that is signed by an attending physician and includes any other documents required by law or the District. The District will create a committee to review the request and the DNR order signed by the parent/guardian, declarant, patient advocate, or attending physician. At any time, the parent/guardian, declarant, patient advocate, or attending physician can revoke the DNR order.
