MILLEDGEVILLE —
The Baldwin County Board of Education tabled a board policy for 30 days that addresses student concussion assessments, management and training during Tuesday’s meeting.
The local school board policy includes the proper procedures to take if student athletes are suspected of suffering from a concussion, and the appropriate training needed for school personnel to identify signs of injuries.
According to the board policy, a concussion is a traumatic brain injury resulting from a forceful blow to the heard or body that results in rapid movement of the head and causes any change in behavior, thinking or physical functioning.
The school board will next convene at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 13 at the board office located off the US Hwy 441 bypass.
