NEW! Concussion Policy Guide for Idaho Schools
In 2012, the Idaho Legislature passed House Bill 632, the Youth Sports Concussion Bill. The intent of the law is to help protect young athletes with concussion and also to help schools and sport programs limit liability on the basis of negligence should a significant concussive injury occur. All sport programs affiliated with Idaho’s public middle, junior and high schools are required to comply with this law. Concussion guidelines must be consistent with the current standards of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This guide is designed to assist school administrators in the design and implementation of concussion management policy for sport programs. Included are sample policies, parent acknowledgement forms, academic accommodation plans, parent and athlete resources and more.
