Elizabeth School District Health Service Model

  • Elizabeth Schools Health Services addresses the health needs of all students and staff for the Elizabeth School District. Health Services consists of one district nurse who trains school personnel in each building to implement a plan of action to ensure the safety of all the students.

    All schools have an identified person who is an Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP) (Health Technician or Office Staff), who acts in a complementary role to the professional nurse. The nurse delegates to the UAP the general safety plans involving CPR, basic first aid, the care of students with chronic health conditions, the care of ill students, and medication administration.
