Summary:

|
This new policy outlines the district's approach to providing comprehensive school health services to support the physical, mental, and behavioral well-being of students and staff. It emphasizes access to health services through school-based centers, mobile units, or telehealth, prioritizing schools with the greatest need. The policy encourages collaboration with healthcare professionals, local agencies, and community partners to address identified needs and secure funding through grants and partnerships. Additionally, it mandates adherence to confidentiality laws and Medi-Cal billing requirements while promoting outreach to enroll eligible students in health programs. Regular evaluation ensures services effectively meet student needs and align with district goals.
The new regulation provides a detailed framework for school health services, outlining the types of services schools may offer to support student well-being. These services include health screenings, immunizations, management of chronic conditions, mental and behavioral health support, and emergency response procedures. The regulation also includes provisions for specialized services, such as occupational and speech therapy, as well as public health education and disease prevention initiatives.
Additionally, it addresses the use of telehealth technology, Medi-Cal billing for eligible services, and compliance with legal standards to ensure accessibility for students with disabilities. The regulation emphasizes the reinvestment of federal reimbursements into student health services and highlights the importance of community collaboration to maximize resources and service delivery. This comprehensive approach ensures schools provide equitable and effective health care to students. |
