Crisis intervention for ill and injured students
-
Control of communicable diseases within the school environment
-
Special nursing services such as treatments prescribed by the student's physician which are necessary for the student to attend school
When students enter the school district requiring health related services, school nurses and health treatment nurses provide those services so that the student can access and benefit from the education program.
