What’s in it

This bill relates to persons who may provide health services to students enrolled in a school district. Under current law, school districts are required to have a school nurse to provide health services to students. The bill modifies this provision to provide that, beginning July 1, 2025, school districts are required to employ either a school nurse or an athletic trainer licensed under Code chapter 152D (athletic training) to provide health services to students.16 (self-administration of respiratory distress, asthma, or other airway constricting disease medication, epinephrine auto-injectors, bronchodilator canisters, or bronchodilator canisters and spacers), to incorporate athletic trainers who are employed by school districts.
