  • Welcome

      Our mission is to strengthen and faciliate the educational process by improving and protecting the health status of children and by identifying and assisting in the elimination or modifications of health-related barriers to learning.  

    LAUSD School Nurses possess a California (CA) School Nurse Services Credential and are CA Registered Nurses (RN). School Nurses are members of a multidisciplinary team established to meet the health and educational needs of all LAUSD students. The program component includes health assessment, communicable disease control, state-mandated screenings, such as vision and scoliosis, first aid and disaster preparedness, immunization follow-up, child abuse reporting, suicide risk assessment, utilization of approved community resources, and health education of students and staff. School Nurses train, assign and supervise unlicensed personnel to provide Specialized Physical Health Care Services. They also focus on students' health and promote student attendance and achievement.
     
    There are over 800 Credentialed School Nurses and Licensed Vocational Nurses who serve the health needs of more than 400,000 LAUSD students in a wide range of programs: Infant Special Education, Migrant Education Programs, Special Education and Early Education Centers.
