The Nursing & Health Services program was established 2 years ago by a committee of School Nurses and Administrators who concluded that nurses and health services staff needed to be represented and supported through professional development, networking, and community partnerships. One of the goals of that program was to establish the Nursing & Health Services Package for districts to purchase and receive access to support and professional development at no cost.

With that said, we are excited to announce, for the 23-24 school year, the Nursing & Health Services package will now be included in the Administrative Service Package.

This new change will create more professional development opportunities, not only for school nurses but athletic trainers, coaches, and other staff. This package change will continue to establish new community relationships to support the local health needs and increase the network of professional support that will strengthen districts to better serve our students, staff, and community in the Region 10 area.
