Job Summary

Job Summary

Under the direction of a Credentialed School Nurse and/or designee, the School-Based Health Technician provides health-related services to support student safety, attendance, and access to the educational program. Responsibilities include first aid and routine health-office care, medication assistance, authorized health procedures, student health records, and response to student health needs in accordance with medical orders, individualized health plans, established procedures, and applicable law. The School-Based Health Technician is not a licensed nurse and does not independently assess, diagnose, interpret medical orders, or make nursing judgments. Clinical concerns or changes in a student’s condition must be referred to the Credentialed School Nurse or other appropriate personnel. That second paragraph is worth keeping because the source specifically limits the technician's role and reserves nursing assessment/judgment for licensed professionals.
