HEALTH
The Board of Education
recognizes the importance of providing a health services program which will
provide optimum mandated services.
The mission of the
health instruction program is to enable students to become health-educated individuals.
As informed individuals take the responsibility for incorporating scientific
knowledge into their daily health practices, they may assume a responsible role
in society, promoting community health, and practicing conservation of human
resources.
The health services
program shall include:
It shall not be the
function of the health services personnel to practice medicine or dentistry or
to replace the family physician. An important purpose of these services,
however, shall be to inform the family of health problems which may require
remedial attention.
