should be informed about the child’s health care plan needs, be given training to provide the appropriate support. Review of training and care giving should be evaluated regularly as the child’s needs change and information and technology is updated. There may be private nursing services that have been prescribed by a physician. During a transition period, a nurse from a private agency, who is supported by private insurance or other non-school funds, may provide nursing services with parental consent. This transition period allows school personnel to be trained in the procedures that are needed. Private nurses on a school campus follow the same requirements as school volunteers, including providing the Charter School/Charter LEA with current fingerprint clearance, certificate of negative tuberculosis, and emergency information. In addition, the private nurse should provide certification information and the name and address of their employer of record. Transportation Each LEA provides transportation as a related service if the child requires this service in order to receive special education. Transportation issues are addressed on the child’s IEP and may become a part of the health plan if school health services are required on the bus. In addition to health care services, other services may be determined to be necessary for the child to benefit from the instructional program. These services, if determined by the IEP team to be appropriate and necessary, are defined within the child’s IEP. Section C – Administering Medication and Monitoring Health Condition Other designated school personnel may include any individual employed by the Charter LEA who has consented to administer medication to the child or otherwise assist the student in the administration of medication, and may legally administer the medication to the child or otherwise assist the child in the administration of the medication ( Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations § 601 ). Medication may include not only a substance dispensed in the United States by prescription, but also a substance that does not require a prescription, such as over-the-counter remedies, nutritional supplements, and herbal remedies ( Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations § 601 ). Persons Authorized to Administer Medication at School The following individuals are authorized to administer medication or assist children in the administration of medication in California public schools pursuant to an IEP ( Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations § 604 ): 1. School nurses may administer medication to a child or otherwise assist a child in the administration of medication as allowed by law and in keeping with applicable standards of professional practice.
