A 501(c)(1) Non-Profit Charter School Permission to Treat Illness or Injury is a special type of exemption from Federal income tax that applies to organizations which are organized and operated exclusively for charitable, religious, or educational purposes. This type of permission allows charter schools to provide medical treatment for illness or injury to their students, without the need for parental consent or permission, as long as the medical treatment is provided by a licensed medical professional. There are two types of 501(c)(1) Non-Profit Charter School Permission to Treat Illness or Injury: 1) Authorization to treat minor injuries and illnesses, such as cuts, scrapes, or minor sprains; and 2) Authorization to treat more serious injuries or illnesses, such as head injuries, broken bones, or illnesses requiring medication or hospitalization. In either case, the charter school must have a written permission from the student’s parent or legal guardian before proceeding with the treatment.
