A local public school board voted to bar a parent from
continuing to coach his son’s high school football team. The parent is a former
paramedic who apparently contracted HIV infection several years ago while
treating an automobile accident victim subsequently discovered to be HIV
positive. School board members are concerned that the parent could transmit HIV
to players while coaching or rendering first aid to injured players. One board
member who is a physician does not think it is a good idea for the parent to
continue coaching. Does the school board’s action violate the ADA or
Rehabilitation Act?
