(1) made in writing;

(2) signed by the child’s parent; and

(3) delivered to the child’s teacher or to the individual who might order a test, an exam, an immunization, or a treatment absent the objection.

     (b) A teacher may not be compelled to undergo any testing, examination, or treatment under this chapter or IC 20-34-4 if the teacher objects on religious grounds.

(1) made in writing;

(2) signed by the objecting individual; and

(3) delivered to the principal of the school in which the objecting individual teaches.
