In October 2015, the NC State Board of Education approved policy SHLT-001<\/a>, titled Return-to-Learn After Concussion<\/a><\/em>. This education policy includes guidelines for safe and appropriate return to the educational environment for ALL students post-concussion. Although this policy includes student athletes protected under the Gfellar-Waller Concussion Awareness Act, it is further reaching. Return-to-Learn After Concussion includes requirements for safe return to school for any student in NC public schools who sustains a mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI), more commonly referred to as a concussion.
This policy<\/a> is linked to the State Board of Education Strategic Plan under Goal 5<\/strong> (Every student is healthy, safe, and responsible), Objective 2<\/strong> (Promote healthy and active lifestyles for students).
The requirements of Return-to-Learn After Concussion became effective at the onset of the 2016-2017 academic year. At this time, all NC public schools are to implement these requirements. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
