Pupils in attendance of the school district shall be subject to the following health regulations:

1. Exclusion of pupils who exhibit symptoms of contagious or infectious diseases is within the authority of the principal, either with or without the nurse’s recommendation. The nurse may assume this authority in case of the principal’s absence, in which event, she leaves a memorandum of action taken. When children are sent home parents should be notified to ensure adult supervision and care upon arrival.
2. Readmission of pupils after absence due to contagious disease is the principal’s responsibility. When a child is presented for readmission after having had a contagious disease, it should be ascertained:
   1. whether there are remaining signs of the disease;
   2. if the child has been released from quarantine by the appropriate health department. (RCW28.210.010)
