Who the heck cares what the asst P thinks, he/she may be so stuck on themselves in the position or so scared of the consequences that they aren't budging. Good for you. NO, great for you to stand up for those students. There should be more teachers out there like you. But, again, with the accountability on teachers these days, there probably are more, but they are overlooked.
I agree that a school nurse or health clinic should be contacted also in order for medical testing to take place. But, dependant upon what the previous kid had, if it drew blood, or where the needle came from; it may be a while before any type of bacterial/viral infection shows up if any. Don't ever hold back b/c a principal doesn't like you (or so you believe), I believe that like other state employees, it is your duty for you to take action when no one else will.
