An Examination of State Statutes and School District Policies Addressing Minors with Do Not Resuscitate Orders
Weiler, Spencer; Birnbaum, Matthew; Westbrook, Philip
Educational Policy, v37 n6 p1545-1572 Sep 2023
Due to advances in medical treatments, students with terminal illnesses are more likely to attend public schools, increasing the possibility that they may die on school property. However, educational health plans often fail to consider end-of-life care decisions. In the absence of federal or state statutes, school boards are left to navigate the issue of minors with Do Not Resuscitate Orders while at school. We examine state statutes and school board polices for minors with Do Not Resuscitate Orders attending or wishing to attend school. Themes from school district policies are discussed, and recommendations for federal, state, and local policymakers are made.
