Clayton County expands school-based health centers, superintendent says
Summary
Dr. Hendricks said the district has expanded access to school-based health centers, arguing that students who cannot see, hear or feel well cannot fully learn and that health access supports academic success.
Dr. Douglas Hendricks Sr. said Clayton County Public Schools has expanded access to school-based health centers to ensure students who cannot see, hear or feel well can get care that supports learning. "We have expanded access to school based health centers because a child who cannot see clearly, hear clearly, or feel well cannot fully learn," he said.
Hendricks presented the expansion as part of a broader approach to removing barriers to learning. The address did not cite specific clinic locations, funding amounts or operational details for the health centers; those items were not specified in the speech and would require follow-up for verification.
