Health Services Manual
Since the School Health Services Act of 1974, much emphasis has been placed on School Health Services programs throughout the State of Florida.
As school systems began developing plans and strategies for more comprehensive health programs to appraise, protect and promote the health of students, it became increasingly clear that a cooperative effort on the part of local school districts and health departments was vitally necessary.
The success of the Duval County School Health Services Program, in conjunction with the Duval County Health Department, is attributed to the cooperation of all personnel involved and their adherence to school health policies and procedures in accordance with Florida Statutes.
This manual was prepared for principals and designed to make information more readily accessible for reference when needed to effectively carry out programs at the school levels. New pages will be distributed to principals as revisions are made and when new information about school health services becomes necessary. It is requested that all such amendments be inserted immediately upon receipt to maintain current information.
All policies and procedures outlined in this manual have been approved through appropriate channels, and it is hoped that this source of information will be of value to principals in providing for the health needs of their students.
