The fundamental purpose of the School Health Service Program is to aid parents/guardians in protecting, improving and maintaining the health of their students. While parents/guardians have the primary and ultimate responsibility for their student’s health, the School Health Service Program will assist parents/guardians in fulfilling their responsibility, and to assist students in developing competence to deal with the health issues they will face during their school years and in the future. The District is responsible for developing objectives and procedures to ensure the accomplishment of the School Health Service Program.
