Federal and state laws and regulations guarantee the protection of education rights for students with healthcare needs in school. Healthcare services in school are those services prescribed by a student's physician, require medically related training and are necessary for the student to attend school. All students with diabetes qualify for healthcare services in school. In most states, the credentialed school nurse is the qualified school personnel responsible for implementing education code and regulations for safe management of healthcare services in school. Safe management includes development of an Individualized Healthcare Plan in collaboration with the parent/guardian to identify the student's healthcare needs and accommodation needs for school attendance. This section contains tools for the school nurse to ensure that proper training and standard management of healthcare services in school occurs for the student with diabetes. These tools have been specifically developed for school use. These tools must be used in compliance with individual state education codes and laws as well as professional recommendations that govern the practice of healthcare professionals.
