§ 2568. Superintendent of schools authorized to require medical

examination of certain employees of certain boards of education. The

superintendent of schools of a city having a population of one million

or more shall be empowered to require any person employed by the board

of education of such city to submit to a medical examination by a

physician or school medical inspector of the board, in order to

determine the mental or physical capacity of such person to perform his

duties, whenever it has been recommended in a report in writing that

such examination should be made. Such report to the superintendent may

be made only by a person under whose supervision or direction the person

recommended for such medical examination is employed. The person

required to submit to such medical examination shall be entitled to be

accompanied by a physician or other person of his own choice. The

findings upon such examination shall be reported to the superintendent

of schools and may be referred to and considered for the evaluation of

service of the person examined or for disability retirement.
