The increasing health needs of students over the last 20 years have left many school personnel with questions and fears about helping these students. This program outline offers suggestions for school health care plans for students. It is essential that all people involved with the student be invited to be a part of the team. Key team members are: parents, the school nurse, teachers, administrators, support staff, and the student. If the student is receiving Special Education services, the team must also include the special education teacher, and other connected personnel. The goals in devising a health care plan are to assure that all student health needs are met at school; to make sure that all appropriate school personnel are informed of student health needs and what steps they might need to take; to open lines of communication between school, home health care providers, and outside agencies; and to provide school staff with a comfort level regarding student health needs so that workers can appropriately carry out educational programs. Procedures and instructions on how to assemble the team, what to cover in each meeting, and how to reach consensus on a plan are given. (RJM)
