School districts without school nursing staff contract with the VCOE Health & Early Childhood Programs Department for specific mandated student services such as vision, scoliosis, and hearing screening. If requested, health and development histories can be completed for referred students.
Contracts are renewed annually to provide hourly Health Specialist/School Nurse services. Briggs Elementary, Mupu Elementary, Santa Clara Elementary, and Santa Paula Union High School Districts continue to request this unique service.
