I give permission for my child to participate in Communities In Schools of Eastern Pennsylvania (CIS) programs and services in the school district while he/she is enrolled in his/her current school district or until I notify CIS, in writing,
of my desire to withdraw my student from CIS services.
By signing this Parent/Guardian Consent/Release of Information, I authorize the following:
· I give permission for my student to participate in the program. The services may include but are not limited to supportive guidance/counseling, educational support, tutoring, mentoring, and enrichment activities, and referrals, as needed. Signed releases will be obtained for parent/guardian permission in the event of referral.
· I give permission for routine or emergency medical or dental treatment by any licensed medical practitioner at the closest facility to be provided in the event of illness or accident if I am unable to be reached. I further state that I will not hold CIS, the school district, or any other authorized work site, organization, or agency liable for medical treatment in case of illness, accident or any other emergency situation.
· I acknowledge that this consent is voluntary and may be revoked at any time by informing CIS staff, in writing, except that prior consent will still apply to the extent that agencies have already taken action in reliance of it.
· I understand that as the recipient of supports I or my child can file a complaint if they have a concern about the services they receive from Communities In Schools of Eastern PA, Inc. I will be encouraged to attempt to work out the problem directly with the CIS Staff, but if I cannot do that or if I am unsatisfied with the outcome I may begin the grievance procedure. I understand that Client Grievance Forms are available at all program locations, by calling the CIS office at 484-834-8830.
