Abstract	This monograph analyzes health and safety issues in education in terms of relevant constitutional and statutory provisions. Chapter 1, an introduction, summarizes Fourteenth Amendment equal protection and due process clauses and defines "handicapped" under the Rehabilitation Act. State assistance and student eligibility under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EHA) are explained. Chapter 2 presents a history of vaccines for contagious diseases, in a discussion of immunity, liability, and the state's role. Contagious diseases without vaccines are analyzed in chapter 3, which describes disease symptoms and adverse admissions and employment decisions. Diseases cited include Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), Crohn's disease, Hepatitis A and B, chicken pox, mononucleosis, etc. The EHA requires supportive services for handicapped children. Chapter 4 discusses case laws and EHA related services, including psychotherapy, nursing care, and climate control. Constitutional implications of drug testing are investigated in chapter 5, which reviews search standards and constitutional and statutory standards affecting school employees and students. Chapter 6 examines historical responses to child abuse and legal requirements concerning educators, as well as reporting mandates and immunity and liability. Chapter 7 discusses student pregnancy in terms of constitutional case laws (exclusion from school and from extracurricular activities, assignment to night programs, and sex education). A table of cases is appended. (CJH)
