DEFINITION OF DEAF AND BLIND -- EXAMINATION OF APPLICANTS --
ADMISSION AND RELEASE OF PUPILS. All children between the ages of six (6) and
twenty-one (21) years who are too deaf or too blind to be educated in the
public schools, shall be deemed deaf or blind for the purposes of this
chapter.
Children who are under the age of six (6) years, but otherwise qualified,
may be admitted, when, in the discretion of the superintendent but subject to
the approval of the board of trustees, they are proper subjects to receive
training and education available in the school and the facilities of the
school are adequate for proper care, training and education. When it has been
ascertained by the superintendent that any pupil has ceased to make progress,
or is no longer being benefited by attending the school, upon recommendation
of the superintendent and the approval of the board of trustees such pupil may
be released from the school.
The board of trustees is authorized to provide for the careful examination
of all applicants for admission to the school, and the expense of such
examination is a lawful use of the moneys available to the board of trustees.
