The district employs six registered nurses to assist our students with health care concerns and needs while they are at school. All of our nurses work with both general education students and our students with special needs. The Office of School and Family Support also hires, trains, and makes available to our nurses, a number of health screeners to help administer annual vision and hearing screenings to our student population. The Health Services Committee meets once a month to discuss issues that involve student health.
