SECTION 912
Health and welfare services to all children
Education (EDN) CHAPTER 16, TITLE 1, ARTICLE 19
§ 912. Health and welfare services to all children. The voters and/or
trustees or board of education of every school district shall, upon
request of the authorities of a school other than public, provide
resident children who attend such school with any or all of the health
and welfare services and facilities which are made available by such
voters and/or trustees or board of education to or for children
attending the public schools of the district. Such services may include,
but are not limited to all services performed by a physician, physician
assistant, dentist, dental hygienist, registered professional nurse,
nurse practitioner, school psychologist, school social worker or school
speech therapist, and may also include dental prophylaxis, vision and
hearing screening examinations, the taking of medical histories and the
administration of health screening tests, the maintenance of cumulative
health records and the administration of emergency care programs for ill
or injured students. Any such services or facilities shall be so
provided notwithstanding any provision of any charter or other provision
of law inconsistent herewith. Where children residing in one school
district attend a school other than public located in another school
district, the school authorities of the district of residence shall
contract with the school authorities of the district where such
nonpublic school is located, for the provision of such health and
welfare services and facilities to such children by the school district
where such nonpublic school is located, for a consideration to be agreed
upon between the school authorities of such districts, subject to the
approval of the qualified voters of the district of residence when
required under the provisions of this chapter. Every such contract shall
be in writing and in the form prescribed by the commissioner, and before
such contract is executed the same shall be submitted for approval to
the superintendent of schools having jurisdiction over such district of
residence and such contract shall not become effective until approved by
such superintendent.
