[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Scoliosis screenings are not about a student's ability to access instruction, it is a public health screening. Some states have dental screenings, some states have weight/BMI screenings and others. These are all about public health, not directly school related.[/quote] I honestly don't know why there are scoliosis screenings in school, other than that it's a quick and relatively accurate way to check for scoliosis. And if the results of the screening are positive, then the school can send a letter home telling the parents to take the child to an orthopedist. Weight screenings, on the other hand -- well, everybody weighs something. If you're screening for weight, everybody will come up positive.[/quote]
