Trustee flags potential closure of school health clinic and asks if district would need to fund it
Summary
A trustee warned the school-based health clinic may not be self-sustaining and asked how a clinic closure would affect Haysville students, families and staff and whether the district should consider funding it.
A board member raised concern that the local school-based health clinic could lose funds and be unable to sustain operations, asking whether the district would want to assume funding responsibility. “If the clinic closes, what does that mean for our Haysville students, families, and staff?” the trustee asked.
Staff acknowledged the clinic’s potential role in removing barriers to learning and recommended the board consider the risk as part of its needs-assessment budget discussions. Trustees asked staff to note the clinic funding risk and include it among the barriers that might require district attention or partner outreach rather than immediate district funding.
