As the population of students with health care needs continues to increase, schools are being asked to provide for a greater array of health care services during the school day. School personnel, parents, and health care providers all share a substantial interest in the quality and provision of health services in the educational setting. The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to school personnel and health care providers in serving students with health care needs in the educational environment. An intended outcome of this manual is to create and strengthen partnerships between educators, parents, and health care providers that result in the provision of necessary school health services for students with health care needs.
