The 89th Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 12 (SB 12), which requires school districts to obtain written permission from a parent/guardian before providing health-related services to an individual’s child. A school district can only provide life-saving care without written consent. To provide all other health-related services the child’s parent/guardian must check “Yes” and sign the Parental Consent for School Health-Related Services form. School health-related services are most often provided by the school nurse. However, additional school staff may also provide first-aid and care of ill or injured students. These school staff members include, but are not limited to, nurse assistants, teachers, athletic trainers, counselors, and other staff who supervise children. Health-related services may include, but are not limited to:
● First Aid (minor cuts, burns, nose bleeds and sprains)
● Checks of temperature, blood pressure, and pulse
● Listening to breathing, heart or bowel sounds
● Examination of pupil responsiveness
● Administration of prescription and/or over the counter medications
● Vision and Hearing Screening
● Spinal and Acanthosis Screening
● Health Education ● Bullying and harassment prevention
● Diabetes education
● Concussion/head injury protocols
