•Health Services/Section 504 Accommodation: OSH manages the processes surrounding students needing medication administration, medically-prescribed treatment, glucose monitoring, insulin pump maintenance, and other Section 504 and Individualized Education Program (IEP) services

Page 5: Health Compliance Slides

Office of School Health (OSH)School or Student Specific Services :

•Mental Health: School-based mental health services play a vital role in addressing behavioral and emotional difficulties that threaten to interfere with a child’s ability to perform academically. When left untreated, children’s mental health problems may interfere with their readiness and motivation to learn. OSH facilitates partnerships with mental health providers by enhancing the accessibility of mental health resources and programs in our schools

•Occupational and Physical Therapy : The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) identifies occupational and physical therapy as related services for eligible children ages 3-21 years who require assistance to benefit from a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment (LRE).

•School-Based Health Centers: There 122 School-Based Health Centers (SBHC) serving 252 schools. SBHCs bring the services of a doctor's office to the school so students avoid health-related absences and get support to succeed in the classroom. When a child is healthy they are more likely to perform better and learn more. Poor health has a direct impact on a student’s ability to learn and succeed in school.

School or Student Specific Services:

•School Nurses: OSH places nurses in approximately 60% of NYCDOE schools each year. School nurses provide first aid services to all students, and also provide skilled nursing services to those students with a documented need •Vision Screening: OSH is improving its vision programs to ensure that all children are screened, and that those with serious vision or hearing problems receive the evaluation and treatment they need. National data indicate that about 25% of students need glasses by the time they reach high school.

•AED/CPR Program: New York State law requires that schools participate in an Automated External Defibrillator program. Each of our over 1400 schools is a Public Access Defibrillation site. OSH works with a vendor to provide service to the AED’s, and to provide CPR and AED training to our staff.

•Automated Student Health Record (ASHR): This tool is available to school nurses in all elementary and intermediate schools. It has greatly expanded the ability of school nurses to care for students. It also assures that records are immediately available when a student transfers from one school to another

General Programs/Services and Other Information

• Fitness: OSH is working closely with the Office of Fitness and Health Education to implement a new fitness program. Components include the Physical Best curriculum, the NYC FITNESSGRAM Fitness Assessment program and the C.H.A.M.P.S. Middle School Sports and Fitness league.

• Health Education: OSH supports the efforts of the Office of Fitness and Health Education to implement comprehensive health education, including HIV/AIDS instruction; to collaborate with the NYC DOHMH on the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) and other initiatives; and to provide professional development and technical assistance to the field.

• Health Insurance: Almost all children in New York City public schools are eligible for public health insurance at minimal or no cost. School records show that approximately 10% of our school children are uninsured. OSH collaborates with the Human Resources Administration to provide access to public health insurance to our students and their families through the schools.

General Programs/Services and Other Information

• Home Instruction: OSH reviews inquiries regarding home instruction based on medical needs.

• Transportation Requests: OSH doctors review transportation requests based on health issues for students with Individualized Education Programs in specific areas.

• Wellness Policy: In response to a new federal requirement DOE has adopted a Wellness Policy. This policy seeks to promote the health and well-being of our students, while taking into account competing priorities and the availability of funds. DOE engaged students, parents, teachers, food service professionals, health professionals and other interested community members in policy development and review.

• Communicable Disease/ Environmental & Food-Borne Illnesses: In suspected cases of communicable disease, environmental illness, or food-borne illness, schools will immediately notify OSH, which will conduct an investigation. If the investigation results indicate that notification of the school community is warranted, OSH will provide principals with letters to be distributed in classrooms and through the regular mail

General Programs/Services and Other Information

• Obesity: Almost half of elementary school children are overweight and obese. Many are not physically fit. DOE has developed several initiatives to deal with these issues. OSH is developing and overseeing the implementation of a new fitness program for NYC schools. In addition to the fitness initiatives, OSH works with the School Food program to improve the quality of student meals and encourage participation in the universal free breakfast program.

• Drink Low-Fat Milk: In an effort to help reduce childhood obesity, the Health Department and the Department of Education strongly encourage everyone ages 2 and older to drink 1% or fat-free milk rather than whole milk. Please distribute a letter from Chancellor Klein and Mental Hygiene Commissioner Frieden to families at your school. 

• Pediculosis- Head Lice: There is now a “no head lice” policy for all NYC public schools, but no longer a “no nit” policy. Students found to have live head lice will be excluded from school and not allowed to return until they are lice-free.

• Students will be reexamined in 14 days to confirm that they have remained lice-free.  Students with nits and no evidence of live head lice will not be excluded from school.

Immunization The goal for SY 09-10 is to ensure that at least 98.5% of students

on your school’s roster are “complete” with immunizations.

Due date: December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010

Tdap – 1 dose is required for all students born on or after January 1, 1994 and entering the 6th, 7th or 8th grade

All students from Pre K- 10th grade are required to have one dose of chicken pox (varicella). Although one does is required, two doses are recommended.

Hepatitis B – if administered before age 11, this is considered a pediatric vaccination, 3 doses are required

Or Hepatitis B – if administered after age 15, this is considered an

adult vaccination, 2 doses are required – the documentation provided as proof should specify which was administered and entered into ATS accordingly

New!

Immunization Mandates-- CR-A701 Each year the DOHMH releases a “Medical Requirements For

New School Entrants” flyer which provides information as to what vaccines are needed and the required number of doses. The double-sided one page sheet is provided to all schools and/or is available on the NYCDOE website on the OSH webpage

Students not in compliance with the required immunization may be labeled “Excludable” or “Provisional” on ATS

Students with an “Excludable” notation should receive a DOHMH “Warning” letter and 2 weeks later, an “Exclusion” letter Warning letter to parents regarding immunization requirements  Exclusion letter to parents regarding immunization requirements 

Page 15: Health Compliance Slides

Immunization Mandates -- CR-A701

Excludable – means the student should not be allowed to attend until the vaccination requirements are satisfied

Please be sure to keep records of which students receive “Warning” letters and dates and the same for “Exclusion” letters. Please inform your health coordinator/ principal of the students on the list

Principals who allow “excludable” students to attend are out of compliance with the laws of the NYSDOE – Public Health Law – Title VI--Section 2164 (7).

Principals who allow “excludable” students to attend are subject to fines by the NYSDOH. These fines are levied against the principal, not the school

Immunization – Medical Exemptions

Medical Exemptions – based on a documented medical reason from a NYS licensed physician, a parent requests that a student not take the required vaccination as the vaccination is detrimental to the student’s health

In such cases:1. The parent must submit a completed Medical Exemption request Form to the

school2. The school forwards the request to the ISC Health Director3. The ISC Health Director forwards and confers with the DOHMH Supervising

Physician4. The student is able to attend during the review process

Medical Request for Immunization Exemption Form --NEW!!

If the Medical Exemption is granted, a notation will be made in centrally ATS . The student is able to attend, the exemption expires in one year.

If the Medical Exemption is denied, the student becomes “Excludable” and should not be allowed to attend.

Page 19: Health Compliance Slides

19

Immunization– Religious ExemptionsReligious Exemptions – parents submit a written requesting that the student be exempt

from vaccinations due to religious beliefs which oppose vaccinations

In such cases:

1. The parent submits a request to the school

2. The school forwards the request to the ISC Health Director

3. The ISC Health Director forwards the letter to the Office of School Health for review

4. The student is allowed to attend during the review process

5. The school, the parent, and the ISC will receive a determination letter stating the status of the request

If the Religious Exemption is granted, a “R” notation will be made in ATS. The student is able to attend, the exemption is in place for the remainder of attendance in a NYCDOE public school. In some cases, the student is not allowed to attend during periods of a communicable disease.

If the Religious Exemption is denied, the parent may contact the ISC Health Director to resubmit the request.

If denied again, the student is “Excludable” and not able to attend until the required vaccinations have been obtained or has been successful in an appeal to the NYSDOE.
