Guidelines for Health Services for Migrant Students.
Strazicich, Mirko, Ed.
This publication provides a standard by which California migrant education health staff can plan, implement, and evaluate a health program for students in grades K-12. Following sections which describe current state legislation, the need for health services, and California's objectives and activities regarding health services for migrant students there is a section which defines health and support services in 13 specific areas. These areas are: physical examination, hearing screening, vision screening, scoliosis screening, immunizations, dental screening, nutrition, child abuse, mental health and counseling, health education for students, health education for staff, health education for parents, and the Migrant Student Record Transfer System (MSRTS) medical record. State-mandated health requirements, the rationale for supplemental services, methods of providing supplemental services, and community resources are outlined for each of the 13 areas. Nine appendices cite portions of state education, health and safety and penal codes which directly support the areas outlined in the health and support services section. The 10th and last appendix gives an example of the MSRTS migrant student health record. (PM)
