Health Care Services Consent Form Logo
  • Health Care Services Consent Form

  • In accordance with Idaho Code 32-1015 and Policy 639 – Parental Rights in Education, it is the policy of the Preston School District to obtain parent/guardian consent for the provision of health care services to students under the age of 18, except where consent cannot be timely obtained in emergency situations. Health care service means a service for the diagnosis, screening, examination, prevention, treatment, cure, care, or relief of any physical or mental health condition, illness, injury, defect, or disease. In the school setting, health care services may include counseling; treatment of minor injuries or illnesses; first aid; vision, hearing, dental, or scoliosis screenings; immunizations; or crisis intervention. School health care services do not include any of the following: providing or performing an abortion; counseling in favor of abortion; referrals for abortion; or dispensing emergency contraception.

    School nurses, school counselors, licensed health care professionals contracted with the district and, where appropriate, trained unlicensed staff, are authorized to furnish health care services. Questions regarding school health services should be directed to Amy Jensen, District Nurse.

    Parents/guardians of students with chronic health conditions, food or other allergies, seizure disorders or epilepsy, asthma, diabetes, or G-tube which may require treatment or monitoring during the school day should contact the school nurse for development of a health care and/or medication administration plan.
