How does a district determine the appropriate nursing services that should be provided to students enrolled in a nonpublic school?
If the school district in which the nonpublic school is located provides school health services in the public school, equitable services, based on school population and health needs of the children attending the school, must be provided if the nonpublic school requests these services. This would include the provision of health-related tasks for students. Guidelines for a public school providing health services to students enrolled in a nonpublic school are addressed in the Handbook on Services to Pupils Attending Nonpublic Schools. This document is available from the State Education Department’s Nonpublic School Services Unit at (518) 474-3879.
