TB Risk Assessment and/or Examination Certificate of Completion:
California law requires that school staff working with students be free of infectious tuberculosis (TB). It is required that a TB risk assessment be administered and if risk factors are identified, a TB test and examination be performed by a health care provider to determine that the person is free of infectious tuberculosis. The use of the California School Employee TB Risk Assessment and the Certificate of Completion (below) is also required.

If you already have a completed Risk Assessment -OR- a negative TB test within the past four (4) years, you may submit that directly to Michelle Bovard, HR Manager. If you do not have one of these available, please contact our liaison, Cammi Bell (Marin Waldorf School Nurse), at (415) 479-8190 to schedule your risk assessment.
