In addition, some new students may need Mantoux Tuberculin Testing.  In accordance with the rules of the State Department of Education, New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services' most recent mandate of July 2005, as well as procedures followed by the Livingston School District:

"All students entering New Jersey schools require tuberculin skin testing when entering the school system for the first time, if BORN in, or TRANSFERRING from, a high TB incidence country NOT listed below."
