Campus-Based Health Services May Include:

1. Acute Care: Immediate care for minor illnesses and non-life-threatening injuries (e.g., temperature checks, minor wound care, headache assessment);
2. Chronic Disease Management: Support for conditions such as asthma or diabetes, including medication administration and individualized health care plans (IHPs);
3. Medication Administration: Dispensing prescribed or over-the-counter medications per a physician’s order with parental consent;
4. Preventive Care: Immunization reminders and health resources;
5. Care Coordination: Collaboration with families, physicians, and staff to support student health needs during the school day; 
6. Health Education: Information for students and parents on prevention, wellness, and managing chronic conditions;
7. Mental Health Support: First-aid and crisis intervention with referral to counseling services as needed;
8. Addressing Health Barriers to Learning: Identifying and supporting students whose health impacts learning (including IEP/504 participation);
9. Community Referrals: Connecting families to healthcare providers and social services

State- Mandated Change- Effective May 2024.

Administration of over-the-counter medications during the school day requires a medical provider's signature and a parent/guardian's signature. 

In August, The Georgetown ISD School Board approved updates to Board Policy FFAC (Local) supporting the Health Services Department alignment with best practices according to the Nursing Practice Act and the Texas Board of Nursing which states, “Nurses do not take original orders from patients, including their parents or other responsible persons, for the administration of medications in Texas.” 

 

Your Child's Health Matters

The Georgetown ISD Health Services staff believes that students' ability to learn is directly related to their health status. Students with unmet health needs will have a difficult time engaging in the educational process. Georgetown ISD understands this and provides a professional registered nurse on every campus to promote optimum health for all students and staff.
