§ 1124. Pupils mentally or physically unfit
When a person having the control of a pupil represents to the superintendent having supervision of the school which such child should attend, that such child is mentally or physically unable to attend school, and if the superintendent has reason to believe that such representation is untrue, he shall investigate and, if he deems it advisable, shall request the health officer of the town or a competent physician to examine such child, but if there is a medical inspector in the district in which such school is located, the superintendent shall request such inspector to examine such child. The officer, physician or inspector shall examine the child and make a report of his condition to the superintendent; and the superintendent shall, if the child is found mentally or physically unable to attend school, notify the teacher of such school and the truant officer of the town of such fact. The expense of such examination shall be paid from the school funds of the town district.
