The Youth Sports Concussion Act was signed into law on August 3rd, 2015. The legislation focuses primarily on concussion management at the middle school and high school levels.
MGSD 70 has updated its school code in compliance with this law, including the formation of a Concussion Oversight Team (COT). The COT’s primary function is to develop return-to-play and return-to-learn protocols for students believed to have experienced a concussion.
If your child has experienced a concussion, please contact the school nurse immediately.
