Board approves location and needs assessment process for school-based health center
Summary
The Forest Area Community Schools board approved locating a school-based health center, directing a needs-assessment including a risk-behavior survey for adolescents, and adopting parental/guardian consent and renewal terms tied to a 2010 interagency agreement.
The Forest Area Community Schools Board of Education on Feb. 9 approved the location of a school-based health center and the administration of a needs-assessment, including a risk behavior survey for adolescents, to determine priority services. The board also approved a parental/guardian consent policy and renewal terms consistent with the original interagency agreement dated 12/13/2010.
The motion was made by Board member Hannah Bird and supported by Board member Chrissy Ingersoll; board minutes record that the motion carried. The recorded motion specified the assessment and consent policy and tied the renewal terms to the interagency agreement referenced in the meeting materials.
Superintendent Mike Moran earlier in the meeting noted upcoming planning work and thanked staff who helped organize recent fundraising events; the board has previously used partner agreements for health services, and the Feb. 9 action continues that approach by formalizing the location and assessment process.
The board did not record a roll-call tally in the minutes beyond “motion carried.” The item does not specify exact service hours, provider contracts, or an implementation timeline; the minutes indicate staff will follow up as part of regular administrative work. The meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m.
