Summary

A DIAC committee recommended changing nurse evaluation language to recognize non-classroom instruction (bulletin boards, nurse-office teaching) and to expand collaborators on medical plans to include administrators, CST and guidance; the board discussed and accepted the revisions.

Rachel Chikala reported that nursing staff convened a DIAC committee to recommend modest revisions to the school nurse evaluation rubric. She said nurses wanted to broaden the description of "promoting wellness through class presentations" to include alternative instruction modes (for example, bulletin boards and office-based education) and to change the collaborator language for medical plans from "teachers" to "teacher, administration, CST, or guidance." "They wanted to change the language of who would collaborate on, like, medical plans for students," Chikala said.

The committee reviewed the proposed wording and reached consensus on the edits; the revised rubric retains separate indicators for 'effective' and 'highly effective' performance and adds checking for understanding as a measure in the highly effective category. Board members asked clarifying questions about where the edits would appear in the rubric; staff pointed to shaded revisions in the materials and said the changes are limited to the rubric indicators rather than the full evaluation instrument.
