Louisiana SB206 mandates blood pressure testing in schools, aligning with American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines.
Louisiana SB206 amends existing law to require every public school board to test pupils' blood pressure, in addition to sight and hearing, during the first semester of the school year or within 30 days after the admission of any pupils entering the school late in the session. This testing must follow the schedule established by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The school board must keep a record of the examinations, follow up on deficiencies within 60 days, and notify the parent or tutor of every pupil found to have any defect of sight, hearing, or abnormal blood pressure.
