Does my student qualify for the Virtual Academy? What does medically fragile mean?

CICS shares the Chicago Public School (CPS) definition of medically fragile students.

Students who are Medically Fragile may display the following characteristics in addition to one of the defined Medically Fragile conditions below:

1. Are frequently absent from school, and their absences are directly related to their severe or life-threatening physical condition.
2. Qualify for special education in one of the existing categories of disability or are considered disabled under Section 504.
3. A Licensed physician/advanced practice registered nurse has provided documentation that an associated or accompanying chronic illness is so severe as to affect the student's school attendance.
4. A medically fragile student is one whose illness and treatment frequently places him/her in extreme, precarious or life threatening circumstances. In addition, he/she may be technology-dependent for life support systems, i.e., tracheotomy, gastrostomy, etc.

In order to apply for the Virtual Academy, the following must be completed:

1. Students who meet the medical fragility requirements and want to enroll in the virtual academy may apply by having a licensed medical provider [Medical Doctor (MD), Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO), Physician Assistant (PA) or Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN)] submit the COVID-19 Health Eligibility form.
2. Forms (including this application) should be emailed to virtualenrollment@chicagointl.​org or faxed to 312-651-5001 to the attention of Virtual Enrollment.
