66E. The Board of County School Commissioners of any County,
which has appointed one or more school physicians, in accordance with
the provisions of this sub-title, shall cause every child attending the
public schools therein to be separately and carefully tested and exam-
ined at least once in every two years to ascertain whether such child is
suffering with defective sight or hearing, or from any other physical
disability tending to prevent such child from receiving the full benefit
of school work, or requiring a modification of such school work, in
order to prevent injury to the child, or to secure the best educational
results; and the school authorities may establish special classes for
these defective children, and may employ additional teachers for this
purpose.

66F. Notice of the disease and defects, if any, from which any
child is found by such school physician to be suffering, shall be given
to the parent or guardian of such child with such advice relating there-
to as said physician may deem advisable, and whenever any child shows
symptoms of any contagious or infectious disease, notice shall also be
given to the health officer or Board of Health, and such child may be
excluded from attendance at such school, in accordance with the pro-
visions of the general statutes or the sanitary regulations in force in
the town or district. Visiting nurses may also be employed to visit
the parents to assist in securing the medical attention required.

the schools.
