hearing, height, weight and blood pressure), screening students who
are new to the County for vision and hearing, completing components
for the Special Education process, scheduling and/or providing
training for school staff in certain areas of health-related topics,
and overseeing the delivery of healthcare in each school by the school

Each school has a school nurse position filled by either a licensed
practical nurse or a registered nurse. These nurses work either full
time or four hours per day for the purpose of giving medications to
the students and providing care to the ill or injured.
