The information from this meeting becomes a health plan that is a part of the IEP of a child who is eligible for special education.
The school nurse is legally responsible for school nursing procedures. He or she can delegate that responsibility by training and certifying other school staff. All staff having contact with the child should be informed about the child’s needs and given training for services appropriate for them to provide. Review of training and care giving should be evaluated regularly as 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 procedure that is needed. Private nurses on a school campus follow the same requirements as school volunteers, including providing the school/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.
2.4
Transportation
Each LEA provides transportation as a related service if the child with a disability 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. An IEP that specifies private or nonpublic school/agency services may be determined with the support of the DMSELPA Due Process office.
