Students

Student Health And Social Services

Because good physical and mental health is critical to a student's ability to learn, the Board of Education believes that all students should have access to comprehensive health and social services. The Board desires to collaborate with local and state health, mental health and social service providers in order to offer integrated services at or near district schools to provide necessary health care services to students with needs for such services.

The Board directs the Superintendent or designee to promote the participation by district students in affordable, comprehensive health coverage programs such as Healthy Families, Medi-Cal for Children and other health coverage programs to children of low to moderate income working families.

(cf. 1020 - Youth Services)

The district may provide preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic and/or rehabilitative health services on an outpatient basis at school sites. The district shall serve as a Medi-Cal provider to the extent feasible, shall comply with all related legal requirements and may be reimbursed to the extent allowed under the Medi-Cal billing option for local educational agencies.
