Can notes be accepted from chiropractors?
The Office of Professions at the State Education Department has offered some guidance on the issue of chiropractic care for school age children. School nurses are able to accept notes from chiropractors that relate to their scope of practice. This would mean that a school nurse may accept a physical education excuse or scoliosis evaluation, but would not be able to accept a physical examination form or a note related to treatment of a communicable disease.
