The policy of the Albuquerque Public Schools is to provide all students with immediate first aid and Emergency Rescue Services when a medical crisis or life-threatening episode occurs at school. However, if the attending physician of a student has written a Do Not Resuscitate Order (DNR) on the authorization of the child's parent(s)/guardian(s), school personnel must act in accordance with the order and refrain from medical interventions that are not consistent with the order.
