School nurses provide student care coordination and case management support. They serve as the link between the school, home, primary health care providers and community and mental health services.
School districts are required by law to provide health services and make accommodations for students with chronic or life-threatening health conditions and these requirements are overseen by the school nurse. For some students, the nurse serves as their primary connection to a licensed health professional.
