Questions to be presented to School Board Meetings regarding Legal Liability for Negligent Referral

1) Are any administrative personnel, board members, employees, agents, or servants of our School District allowed to refer students for abortions, birth control, pregnancy tests, or treatment for sexually transmitted diseases? (For the remainder of this document, this group of referrals will simply be called "referrals")

2) What written directives and/or guidelines are issued to our School District administrative personnel, board members, employees, agents, or servants regarding the district's referral policy?

3) If referrals are not allowed, please provide a copy of that policy as well as a response to the following questions:

-- What written directives are given to administrative personnel, board members, employees, agents, or servants of our School District who have contact with or access to students regarding the district's policy prohibiting referrals?

-- Are administrative personnel, board members, employees, agents, or servants of our School District who have contact with or access to students required to "sign-off" that they have been made aware of the district's policy prohibiting referrals?

-- What actions are taken by our School District to implement and enforce the district's policy prohibiting referrals?

-- Are administrative personnel, board members, employees, agents, or servants of our School District who have contact with or access to students reminded about the district's policy prohibiting referrals during staff meetings or "in-service" training?

4) If it is school policy to allow referrals, please furnish the minutes of the board meeting at which the decision to do so was reached. Also include the date, place and minutes of the meeting, as well as the names of the board members present and absent plus the recorded vote.

5) If it is school policy to allow referrals, please provide a copy of that policy as well as a response to the following questions:

-- Which administrative personnel, board members, employees, agents, or servants of our School District are allowed to give referrals?

-- Are our School District administrative personnel, board members, employees, agents, or servants who are approved to provide these referrals required to have special training which makes them qualified to do so? If they are not, what criteria does our School District use to determine that they are qualified to give referrals?

-- Which department or individual in our School District is responsible for identifying the outside organizations to which students may be referred?

-- Before approving an organization for referrals, what kind of background investigation does our School District conduct regarding this organization's malpractice history and their record of compliance with applicable health and safety standards and other state laws?

-- Which department or individual in our School District is responsible for conducting and analyzing this background investigation?

-- Following this background investigation, what criteria does our School District use to determine whether an organization is approved to receive referrals, and which department or individual in the district is responsible for making the final decision?

-- Does our School District verify that every facility approved for referrals has the financial ability (cash, bonds, attachable assets, medical malpractice insurance, etc.) to protect students who may be injured, killed, or otherwise harmed while under the care of the facility, or as a result of services rendered at the facility?

-- Has our School District sought a written legal opinion regarding its financial exposure should a student be injured, killed, or otherwise harmed while under the care of a facility, or as a result of services rendered at a facility for which the school was the referring agent? If the district has not obtained such a legal opinion, why not? If it has, what were its findings?

-- If it is the opinion of legal counsel that our School District may be exposed to increased liability because of its referrals, is medical malpractice, negligent entrustment, and/or negligent referral within the scope of the district's liability insurance policy? If so, are the policy limits sufficient to cover the potential exposure?

-- If it is the opinion of legal counsel that our School District does not assume greater legal exposure because of its referrals, has the law firm supplied a letter indemnifying the district against any claims which might be levied against the district in case their legal opinion is wrong? If so, please provide a copy.

-- If our School District's legal counsel has provided this letter of indemnification, has the district verified that the law firm has the financial ability (cash, bonds, attachable assets, legal malpractice insurance, etc.) to satisfy such indemnification?

-- If it is the opinion of legal counsel that our School District does not assume greater legal exposure because of its referrals, but the law firm will not provide indemnification against this opinion being wrong, is the district seeking other legal representation? If not, what is the district doing to protect itself?

-- What are our School District's written guidelines for either involving or excluding the parents of a student who seeks a referral?

-- If the parent of a student calls for her while she is absent for a referral, what are our School District's written directives regarding what this parent is to be told?

6) Does our School District ever provide students with transportation to a facility to which a referral was given? If so, please furnish the minutes of the board meeting at which the approval for this was given, including the date, place and minutes of the meeting, as well as the names of the board members present and absent plus the recorded vote. Also, please respond to the following:

-- How is this transportation accomplished? (school-owned vehicle, taxi, private vehicle owned by any administrative personnel, board members, employees, agents, or servants private vehicle, etc.)

-- Has our School District's liability insurance policy been reviewed to determine whether it would cover claims arising from accidents which might occur during these trips?

7) Are our School District's funds or funds under its care, custody or control, ever used to pay for abortions, birth control devices (pills, condoms, post-coital emergency contraception, etc.) pregnancy tests, or treatment for sexually transmitted diseases?

9) Are any school district administrative personnel, board members, employees, agents, or servants allowed to dispense birth control devices (pills, condoms, post-coital emergency contraception, etc.) to students?

And there's not a single one of those fifty teens whom Planned Parenthood wouldn't have gladly crushed his/her skull for a couple hundred bucks.

Thanks CCC for the correction in terminology. I will keep an eye out for this in my 9th grader's school district.

I have already submitted an opt-out form, but that does not mean that my wishes will be followed. "An opt out form is a parent's written request to their child's school principal and teachers, to ensure that their children are opted out of curriculum that violates the religious beliefs or convictions of the child's parents." Here is a link for the Pacific Justice Institute's opt out form:

Here's a suggestion from a friend: "It might be worth a call to Priests for Life, although it's short notice." Just a thought.

This is sad.

Already the High Schools have daycare centers...which is better that killing the babies for sure.

Children are becoming sexually active at a much younger age these days, and the merchants of death that run the aboratoriums are looking for more preganancies so they can add to their multi-billion dollar business of killing the most innocent of humans...the pre-born.

I spent 5 yrs working with middle schools kids in the late nineties and they need protection from these predators.

It is too far for me to go, but I hope some show up from our side.

I weep for the next generation...and the next...and the next...and those who are not in ours because of the slaughter.

Sorry for the rant but this is an issue that toutches me as it does many others.

Thanks for the post Saundra.

Where did PP get these teenagers? Do they own them? Are their parents allowing them to go? This seems wierd...5o teens...how many of them have had abortions do you suppose? Do their parents wish they aborted them?...hmmmm.

Or are the teens and parents brainwashed to believe that Planned Parenthood is really concerned about planning parenthood do they know that their purposs is to destroy parenthood?
