Bill Summary

This bill requires each school district to employ a certified school nurse at each school building in the district. Current law requires every school district to employ one or more school nurses. Current law also provides that a school district may only employ, for the provision of nursing services, candidates holding an educational services certificate with a school nurse endorsement issued by the State Board of Examiners. Under the law, however, a school district may supplement the services provided by a certified school nurse with non-certified nurses provided that the non-certified nurses are working in proximity to the certified nurse. Specifically, the law requires a non-certified nurse to be assigned to the same school building or school complex as the certified school nurse. This bill amends current law to specify that each school district is required to have a certified school nurse located at each school building in the district. A school district may continue to supplement the services provided by the certified school nurse employed at each school building in the district with non-certified nurses.

AI Summary

This bill requires each school district to employ a certified school nurse at each school building in the district.

This bill amends the law to specify that each school building in a district must have a certified school nurse, while still allowing school districts to supplement the certified nurse's services with non-certified nurses.
