BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
|
Sequoia Union High School District (SUHSD) has received $90,000 from Sequoia Healthcare District (SHCD) to hire an additional school nurse for the period July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008. A MOU will allow SUHSD to pay SMMC $90,000 to hire a public health nurse since the school district does not have the capability to do this.
The public health nurse will provide health assessments and consultation for staff, students and families and coordinate screening and health assessments for students referred for special education services at the schools.
Adding a public health nurse will accomplish the following objectives: 1) increase training hours for health aides, including medication administration, emergency treatment for asthma, diabetes and epilepsy, and specific adolescent risk-taking behaviors; 2) increase school nurse involvement in Student Study Team and Individualized Education Plans; 3) increase mandatory hearing screening of students; and 4) increase identification of students with asthma, in coordination with SMMC Sequoia Teen Wellness Center staff.

FISCAL IMPACT:
|
The grant from Sequoia Union High School District will not exceed $90,000 during entire term of the MOU. The term of the MOU is July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008. The ATR will add $90,000 to the FY2007-08 Adopted Budget. Administrative oversight, technical assistance, and project monitoring will be provided by Clinics Manager. There is no net county cost associated with this MOU.
