18 ANNUAL NOTIFICATION REGARDING SCHOOL DISTRICT ACCESS TO MEDICAID OR OTHER PUBLIC BENEFITS OR INSURANCE PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE OR PAY FOR IEP SERVICES

With a parent’s consent, the School District may access Medicaid or other public benefits or insurance programs in which the parent’s child participates, and provide the child’s personally identifiable information to Medicaid or other public benefits or insurance programs in order to provide or pay for IEP services, to the extent permitted under the other public benefits or insurance programs;

The School District may not require a parent to sign up for or enroll in public benefits or insurance programs in order for the parent’s child to receive IEP services;

The School District may not require the parent to incur out-of-pocket expenses such as the payment of a deductible or co-pay amount incurred in filing a claim for services, other than any cost that the parent would otherwise be required to pay;

The School District may not use a child’s benefits under a public benefits or insurance program if that use would decrease available lifetime coverage or any other insured benefit; or result in the family paying for services that would otherwise be covered by the public benefits or insurance program and that are required for the child outside of the time he/she is in school; or increase premiums or lead to the discontinuation of benefits or insurance; or risk loss of eligibil - ity for home and community-based waivers, based on aggregate health-related expenditures;

A parent’s refusal to allow the School District to access Medicaid or other public benefits or insurance programs does not relieve the District of its responsibility to ensure that all required IEP services are provided to the child at no cost to the parent.

32 Illinois High School Association Banned Substance Testing Policy 2017-2018

The Illinois High School Association’s Board of Directors implemented a “Banned Substance Testing Policy” in the 2010-11 school year. This policy requires consent by both the athlete and parent to random testing for participation in all state series competition. The penalty will be applied to a student who tests positive for performance-enhancing drugs. The student would be ineligible for 365 days from the date the test results were reported to the student and the school. The student may then apply for reinstatement of athletic eligibility after 90 calendar days, following the successful completion of an approved educational program and a negative test for performance-enhancing drugs. The Board determined that any team penalties would be determined by the Executive Director on a case-by-case basis under the provisions of Article 1.460 of the IHSA Constitution. The following is a list of banned-drug classes, with examples of banned substances under each class: Statement: The value of high school interscholastic programs is found in the over-all physical, emotional, and intellectual development of student-athletes . 1. Stimulants In that pursuit, anabolic steroids and performance-enhancing dietary sup - amiphenazole, amphetamine, bemigride, benzphetamine, bromantan, plements offer no positive contribution. Rather, their use jeopardizes not only caffeine1 (guarana), chlorphentermine, cocaine, cropropamide, the health of student-athletes, but also impedes in their over-all development. crothetamide, diethylpropion, dimethylamphetamine, doxapram, And since this use runs counter to the purpose and value of interscholastic ephedrine (ephedra, ma huang), ethamivan, ethylamphetamine, programs, coaches, administrators, school officials or employees, or booster fencamfamine, meclofenoxate, methamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy), club/support group members have an obligation and responsibility to provide methylphenidate, Nikethamide, Pemoline pentretrazol, phendimetrazine , only healthy, safe, and approved substances to student-athletes.

The purpose of oxymesterone, oxymetholone, stanozolol, testosterone 2, this document is to provide schools, athletes, and parents with a description tetrahydrogestrinone (THG), trenbolone and related compounds. of those substances that are considered banned by the IHSA, and, therefore, substances student-athletes cannot take and maintain their athletic eligibility . 3. Diuretics This document presents the list of banned drug classes to be in effect for the acetazolamide, bendroflumethiazide, benzhiazide, bumetanide, 2016-17 school year. The IHSA Board of Directors approved this list on a chlorothiazide, chlorthalidone, ethacrynic acid, furosemide, recommendation from the IHSA Sports Medicine Advisory Committee. The hydrochlorathiazide, methyclothiazide, metolazone, polythiazide, official list shall be published on the IHSA website . quinethazone, spironolactone (canrenone), triamterene, trichlormethiazide and related compounds. Background: The term “related compounds” comprises substances that are included in the class by their pharmacological action and/or chemical structure . 4. Peptide Hormones and Analogues No substance belonging to the prohibited class may be used, regardless of Corticotrophin (ACTH), human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), whether it is specifically listed as an example. Many nutritional/dietary luteinizing hormone (LH), growth hormone (HGH, somatotrophin), supplements contain banned substances. In addition, the U.S. Food and Drug insulin like growth hormone (IGF-1) Administration (FDA) does not strictly regulate the supplement industry; All the respective releasing factors of the previously mentioned sub - therefore purity and safety of nutritional dietary supplements cannot be guar - stances also are banned: erythropoietin (EPO), darbepoetin, sermorelin anteed. Impure supplements may lead to a violation of IHSA by-laws. The use of supplements is at the student-athlete’s own risk. Student-athletes Definitions of unacceptable levels depend on the following: should contact their physician or athletic trainer for further information. 1 for caffeine — if the concentration in urine exceeds 15 micrograms/ml 2 for testosterone — if the administration of testosterone or use of any other manipulation has the result of increasing the ratio of the total concentration of testosterone to that of epitestosterone I the urine to greater than 6:1, unless there is evidence that this ratio is due to a physiological or patho - logical condition.

No student-athlete may participate in IHSA state series competition unless the student and the student’s parent/guardian consent to random testing. The consent form is on the back of the green physical form required of all athletes.
