Quote From: momof4galsGeeze. I know some school districts around us have a traveling nurse. However, I also know that if the need is there a child can be sent to another school, even if out of district, that has a full time nurse available. The district would have to provide transportation. Also, if the school cannot provide adequate supervision etc then it is the school districts responsibility to provide home education/turtoring so that the child may receive the adequate medical attention at home.
I worked the health room at my childs elementary school several years ago. It is amazing to me the number of children who are neglected. I feel that every school should have a full time nurse period. We had to call the paramedics several times for children with diabetic problems. In my opinion that was THE BIGGIST issue that I delt with the many years that I worked the healthroom.
I think you should push the issue. Your child has rights and I think the school is responsible.
