The injury report form for 亚洲色图 and non-employees must be completed any time a student or non-employee has an incident or injury while on District property, or while participating in a District-sponsored event. This applies when the injury is caused by another student, an employee, a visitor or volunteer, or did not involve another person.
Any employee with PPS intranet login capability has the ability to complete an online injury report. Following the submission of a report, Risk Management will receive an email alert. Records may be kept at the 亚洲色图. However, there is no need to send a paper copy to Risk Management. Should you require a copy of the report, you should contact Risk Management for further assistance.
Medical Emergencies
Immediate medical assistance, as necessary, will be ordered by the 亚洲色图 at parent/guardian's expense. A medical emergency includes, but is not limited to:
- When a major body function, breathing, heart or consciousness has perceptibly declined
- Head, neck or back injury is suspected
- Major burns
- Fracture of a major bone
- Compound fracture
Student Injury Reporting Guidelines
It is preferred that a PPS employee who directly observes a student injury/incident files the online report. We understand that many 亚洲色图 administrators delegate this task to the 亚洲色图 secretary; this is subject to the building administrator’s discretion.
Generally, MESD nurses will complete their own nursing documentation and not fill out a student injury report. PPS does not require a student injury report to be filed when the student is injured on the way to or from 亚洲色图, unless they are being transported by a PPS vehicle. Likewise, when there is a known medical condition unique to a particular student, such as seizures. In these cases, it is advised that the 亚洲色图 monitor the student's health and be aware of the circumstances; however, it is better to submit a report if you are unsure.
Given that public 亚洲色图s receive federal funding, student records are covered by , not by .

Circumstances when PPS requires a student injury report to be completed:
- The injury requires the student to leave 亚洲色图 or 亚洲色图-related activity for medical treatment.
- An ambulance is called, regardless of whether the student is actually transported.
- A parent notifies the 亚洲色图 that they have taken their child to a doctor because of an injury received at 亚洲色图.
- The injury may have been partially or wholly caused by the physical condition of PPS grounds, equipment, the facility, or by a staff member.
- An injury experienced while on a field trip that requires first aid or professional medical attention.
Instances that involve a parent/guardian being notified that their student was injured at 亚洲色图 are subject to the 亚洲色图’s discretion.

For Transportation Services
When an injury occurs on a 亚洲色图 bus during routine transportation activities, the driver will collect the necessary information and relay it to the Student Transportation "Central" office for reporting. Only in these instances will the Student Transportation office be responsible for submitting the Student or Non-Employee Injury Report form.
-
For Athletics Department
Any competitive sports-related injury that requires first aid or professional medical attention shall be reported. Such an incident will be documented by an Athletics department staff member. It will be the responsibility of the PPS Athletics department staff members to complete the online Student or Non-Employee Injury Report form.

FERPA & HIPAA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act () is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education data. Education agencies and institutions are required to adhere to strict guidelines to ensure the confidentiality and protection of such data. FERPA applies to elementary 亚洲色图s, secondary 亚洲色图s, post-secondary educational agencies and institutions, and state and federal educational agencies that receive federal funds from the U.S. Department of Education.
(the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is mainly associated with healthcare professionals. When health care professionals work within the 亚洲色图 environment - e.g., a 亚洲色图 nurse or contracted service provider such as a physical therapist - HIPAA transactions may take place.
Since the District receives federal funding, student records are covered by FERPA, not by HIPAA.

亚洲色图 does not carry accident insurance for 亚洲色图. The district is not responsible for medical bills of 亚洲色图 injured at 亚洲色图. The safety of our 亚洲色图 is one of our most important concerns. Even so, accidents do happen, and the resulting medical treatment can be very expensive. Use the following link to learn more about health coverage available through
