If we see signs or symptoms, we send the player off and notify the coach. If/when the coach sends the player back into the game, it is their responsibility to have had the player checked out and cleared. The liability is theirs. If we see more signs or symptoms, then we send the player back out of the game.

This is it. This is why I was asking because early in the policy it basically states the it is not up to the official to decide. I was wondering if you guys thought that #6 was referring to the schools/coaches responsibility. That is the way I took it.
I should have asked more clearly. As an official if you see a player have concussion symptoms and then later return to the game then this is nothing the official should be concerned with correct? All liability is on the coach and/or school?
