Hawaii has done a lot of work in regards to assessing our high school athletes; however, there is still a lot of work to do in supporting our students as there is nothing in place to help those who suffer concussions outside of high school athletics. Current protocol requires a school athletic trainer (for some reason, a physician's note will not suffice) to do an assessment, but does not specify a timeline.....resulting in unfair treatment for someone with a traumatic brain injury. For example: a student who is a victim of a car accident or physical assault is not eligible to receive accommodations such as extended test time unless that student is classified as needing special education services. Students could have their grades suffer as a result of missed opportunities, directly impacting their grade point averages and, subsequently, their post-secondary educational options. Please support House Concurrent Resolution 4 when it is heard in the legislature. Our children need it!!!
