New school policy
educates students
about AIDS virus
DALLAS (AP) — Texas school of
ficials say they’ve been able to cope
with the handful of AIDS cases that
have arisen, but they are spelling out
careful policies to forestall any fu
ture increases.
“We do not want what happened
in Florida to happen here,” Kirk Le
wis, administrative assistant at Pasa
dena Independent School District
said Thursday.
“Education is the best way to deal
with the problem,” Lewis said.
A family with three hemophiliac
children carrying the AIDS virus left
Arcadia, Fla., last week. Members of
the community had strongly op
posed the children’s presence in
school, which was supported by a
court order, and the family left after
a suspicious fire gutted their home.
Cases in Texas include at least two
children in Pasadena schools who
carry the AIDS virus or related
symptoms. A Midland elementary
teacner resigned this year after test
ing positive for the disease. And in
Dallas, an employee who carries the
disease is working this year.
The three school districts have
outlined policy procedures recom
mended by the National Center for
Disease Control, Texas Education
Agency and the Texas Department
of Health Services.
Under the guidelines, each AIDS
case is handled individually, but the
person must meet with a committee
made up of school administrators,
school health officials and have the
person’s doctor present.
But Pasadena officials say a bill
passed by Texas legislators this sum
mer states that only a school’s nurse
be informed if a student or teacher
has the AIDS virus.
The law went into effect Sept. 1.
Lewis said school officials are trying
to determine if it will affect policy.
Although officials would not spec
ify the number, they said Pasadena
schools had more than one child
with AIDS enroll this year. But be
cause of talks held with the adminis
tration, school health officials and
the Parent-Teacher Association, the
cases have not caused too many
problems, Lewis said.
“Parents are concerned but if we
hadn’t had discussions with the PTA
on our policy dealing with AIDS
there would have been more con
cern,” Lewis said.
PISD also is planning to integrate
AIDS education into their school
curriculum adding information on
the disease into science and health
classes. Students from the sixth
through the 12th grades will learn
what the disease is and how one can
contract and spread it, Lewis said.
In Dallas, a reviewing committee
is charged with deciding the best
course of action, said Rodney Davis,
spokesman for the Dallas Indepen
dent School District.
DISD has an employee with the
disease working this year.
“The National Center for Disease
Control determined AIDS is not
spread by casual contact,” Davis said.
“So employees and children should
be allowed to go to school.”
Educating the community on the
AIDS issue also helped calm anxious
E arents in Midland when they
:arned this summer that a teacher
had contracted the fatal disease. The
teacher voluntarily resigned.
Initially, some parents said all
children and teacners should be
tested for the AIDS virus. But a pub
lic meeting held in June put most of
those fears at ease, Becky Ferguson,
spokesman for Midland Indepen
dent School District, said.
“We dealt with a rational group of
people compared to the Florida situ
ation,” Ferguson said.
