Health services are an integral part of comprehensive school improvement, assisting all students to increase learning, achievement, and performance.  Health services coordinate and support existing programs to assist each student in achievement of an optimal state of physical, mental and social well being.  Student health services ensure continuity and create linkages between school, home, and community service providers.  The school district’s comprehensive school improvement plan, needs, and resources determine the linkages.

The superintendent, in conjunction with the (school nurse and public health nurse) will develop administrative regulations implementing this policy.  The superintendent will provide a written report on the role of health services in the education program to the board annually.

In addition to the health services provided in the curriculum, the school district may provide annual vision screening, annual audiometer screening, annual height and weight measurement and furnish evidence of immunization for students to the State Board of Health within the first thirty (30) days of the school year.  These services may be provided in conjunction with state and county public health officials, local hospitals, or as part of a school health clinic.
