In addition, upon notification that a school employee has been involved in an incident which may have exposed the employee to the blood or body fluids of a student, the division superintendent must contact the local health director who, upon immediate investigation of the incident, is to determine if a potentially harmful exposure has occurred and make recommendations, based upon all information available to him, regarding how the employee can reduce any risks from such exposure. The division superintendent shall share these recommendations with the school employee. The division superintendent and the school employee shall not divulge any information provided by the local health director regarding such student.
