Nursing Services
The district presently has 3 fulltime school nurses, 3.5 fulltime LPN’s and a nurse assistant. Creative scheduling of the staff has enabled daily fulltime coverage in all buildings. Nurses follow procedures as set forth yearly by state and federal government, at the authorization of our district contracted physician. Nurses complete required screenings, teacher training, physicals, track immunizations, provide services to private/parochial schools, and handle day to day medical situations (medication, blood sampling, etc.) Our nurses develop Individualized Health Plans (IHP’s) for students who have short term medical needs that are not chronic in nature and 504 medical plans for chronic conditions that impact a student’s school performance. Funding for nursing services is from the general budget. All staff assigned to a student with an IHP or a 504 plan are responsible for the implementation of that plan.
