Board reviews first reading to give school nurses 30 minutes of unencumbered time
Summary
A first reading would add school nurses to an existing model policy granting 30 minutes of unencumbered time to instructional staff; the policy notes nurses must respond to medical emergencies and principals would schedule time to avoid heavy medication windows.
The board considered a first reading to extend a model policy that provides 30 minutes of unencumbered time to instructional staff, now explicitly adding school nurses.
Mr. Bollinger said the state's March 2023 model policy originally covered K'2 teachers and special education staff; the General Assembly has since included school nurses and this change would align the district's policy with state statute and the administrative rule. Principals would adjust schedules to provide nurses with 30 minutes of self-directed time while preserving the ability to respond to medical emergencies and avoiding peak medication times.
The item was presented as a first reading and will return for a vote at a subsequent meeting.
