CSNO has launched focused professional learning on the Guidelines for Specialized Physical Healthcare Services in the Educational Setting and special education information. Over the span of the last two years, CSNO has been busy updating what was formerly known as "The Greenbook." The Greenbook's purpose is to provide Standards of Practice while providing training to designated unlicensed assistive personnel to care for children with specialized physical health care needs. These health care services may be performed under the California Education Code 49423.5. Learn Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) as it relates to special education, recent research related to the topic, best practices, and ask school nurse experts questions related to your own school nursing practice. Topics include MTSS Overview and training others; What is an IEP versus a 504 plan; the role of the school nurse and writing school nursing services into the IEP. Also learn about module information including Anaphylaxis; Catherization, Oxygen, Asthma and much, much more. Please note, Guidelines for Specialized Physical Healthcare Services in the Educational Setting Modules must be purchased separately. For purchase information please visit https://www.csno.org/csno-products The California School Nurses Organization is provider approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing CEP #04269.

Herman shared that school district personnel would have to get “creative.” He continued to share that rather than bringing in an entire class of 5th graders, considerations should be made about bringing in only a few students at a time in for screening. He also stated that parents could obtain a waiver stating screening had been performed by the student’s health care provider. CSNO had submitted a waiver to waive all mandated screenings in the midst of COVID-19 to the California Department of Education and to date had not received a response. According to Herman, there are an array of screening requirements including oral health, vision and hearing that must be completed. Herman also shared the CDE has been receiving multiple calls about immunization and encouraging parents to get their children vaccinated prior to starting school.
