Program Description
The goal of the School Health Services is the promotion
of optimal health, the prevention of disease and support
of comprehensive health education of the child. The Boise
School Health Services currently has a fulltime Registered
Nurse at every secondary school in the District. A team
consisting of a Registered Nurse and a Health Technician
work together to meet the needs of 2 - 3 schools at the
elementary level.
Health Promotion
Registered Nurses assist students in acquiring health
knowledge and developing attitudes conducive to healthful
living. The Registered Nurses complete vision, dental,
scoliosis, height and weight screenings. They implement
the state communicable disease programs as needed. The
Health Technicians under the direction of the Registered
Nurses maintain necessary student health records, disseminate
health information and assist with health screening of
students.
Chronic Disease Management
Registered Nurses assist students in meeting needs resulting
from disease, accidents, congenital defects or psychosocial
maladjustments. The Health Technicians assist the Registered
Nurses in providing routine and emergency medical care.
Health Curriculum
Registered Nurses assist the classroom teacher with
the Health curriculum in the areas of Dental Hygiene,
Health and Illness, Blood Borne Diseases and Growth and
Development.
Consultation
Registered Nurses are members of their Multidisciplinary
Teams and assist with student evaluations, crisis intervention,
home visits and community referrals. They provide health
consultation to parents, teachers and other members of
the multidisciplinary team.

team. They are available to consult with Multidisciplinary
Teams regarding student evaluation, possible treatment,
and referral for student behavioral and mental health
