TB Testing

In an effort to control the incidence of tuberculosis in our schools and community, Hilliard City Schools requires any student who was born outside of the United States or spent 30 or more days in a country outside the United States to have a tuberculosis test. Students needing this test will be informed by letter upon enrollment or re-entry and referred to the appropriate public health agencies or their personal physician.

A history of the BCG vaccination does not make a student exempt from TB testing due to the variable effectiveness of the BCG vaccine in preventing TB infection.

Enrollment for new students will be deferred until documentation of a negative TB test or negative chest x-ray is received by the registration compliance officer. Re-entry for students who have traveled outside the United States for 30 or more days will be deferred until such documentation is received by school personnel.
