Section
10-051 Do Not Resuscitate Orders
It is the
policy of Mulvane USD 263 to require district personnel and contracted personnel
to provide, to the best of their ability, life-sustaining care to any child who
needs such care. Many district
personnel are trained to save lives and are loath to let a child die.
Mulvane
USD 263 refuses to comply with Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders.
It is the district’s position that Advanced Directives and Durable
Powers are meant to apply to the progressive terminally ill in health care
facilities, not “medically fragile” students in school.
Due to the devastating effect on students and staff of a death at school,
the Mulvane USD 263 policy holds that every effort to preserve life is in the
best interest of all parties.
