Health Care in the School

I think that the simplest solution would be to have a nurse available for the most basic medical care. In my K-6, this was the case. In middle school and high school, there was no nurse on the campus, but we did have basic medical care for cuts and other first aid needs. In addition, we had athletic trainers for any sports related injuries. I really don't believe that there is much to do beyond this point without over addressing the issue. Since the nurse was not in that day, I believe that the right course of action was taken. I don't really believe that every person working in the school setting should have a medical background other than basic CPR training. On the other hand, I do believe that each teacher should be aware of any medical conditions that their students have. In the event that the condition occurs during school, the teacher should be able recognize and direct the student to the appropriate care giver.
