Medically Fragile Clause Samples
The 'Medically Fragile' clause defines individuals whose health conditions require ongoing medical care and heightened supervision due to significant physical or medical vulnerabilities. In practice, this clause typically applies to children or adults with chronic illnesses, severe disabilities, or conditions that make them especially susceptible to health complications, such as those needing frequent hospitalizations or specialized treatments. Its core function is to ensure that such individuals receive appropriate accommodations, protections, or services, addressing their unique needs and reducing the risk of harm or neglect.
Medically Fragile. When a general education classroom teacher is assigned a medically fragile student, the teacher shall not be expected to perform routine, scheduled maintenance of a medical appliance or apparatus used by the student to sustain his/her bodily functions nor render routine, scheduled care or maintenance of exceptional bodily functions related to the student's impaired condition. The teacher shall be informed and instructed as to emergency measures which may be necessary on occasion due to the student's impaired condition.

When a teacher is assigned a student in or from a Special Education program for severely impaired students (POHi, SXI, SMI, EMI, TMI, autistic, medically fragile),the teacher shall not be expected to perform routine scheduled care or maintenance of exceptional bodily functions related to the student's impaired condition. The classroom instructor or any other adult who may be present at any time when instruction or any other services are being provided, will be instructed by a medical professional with written instructions provided as to any emergency measure which may be necessary on occasion due to a student's impaired condition. No teacher will be expected to perform any non-emergency care or be required to administer any non-emergency medications unless otherwise provided in an IEP or section 504 plan. Prior to beginning work with the student(s), principals will ensure that if there are any non-emergency medications incorporated into an IEP or 504 all staff serving the student will be made aware of these needs. The addition of a student with a disability or otherwise medically fragile student to the education classroom will not, in any way, disrupt nor have a negative impact on the educational process for either the student with disability or the other students in the class. Class size may be adjusted in inclusive education classrooms in order to accommodate increased individualized attention for the student with a disability or medically fragile students and for the students in the program. The receiving classroom teacher must be invited in writing to be party to any IEP involving any medically fragile student in their charge. If any teacher has a reasonable basis to believe that a student's current IEP is not meeting the student's unique needs, as required by law, the teacher will advise his/her principal of that opinion in writing. No bargaining unit member will be threatened, disciplined, reprimanded, punished, discharged, or denied any professional advantage, directly or in...
