All students who enroll in Maine School Administrative District #31 schools are required by Maine law to present a certificate of immunization or evidence of immunization or immunity against poliomyelitis, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (chicken pox).
Effective with the 2018-2019 school year, Maine’s immunization requirements also apply to meningococcal disease:
Non-immunized students shall not be permitted to attend school unless one of the following conditions are met:
The Superintendent shall exclude from school any non-immunized student when there is a clear danger to the health of others as provided by law.
The Superintendent/designee is directed to develop such administrative procedures as are necessary to carry out this policy and comply with statutory requirements.
