Health Services

Seminole County Public Schools provides health care services through the use of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and clinic assistants. Our registered nurses oversee health services at multiple school locations. School clinics are staffed by unlicensed assistive personnel who receive training from the School Board Nurses.

Who Are School Board Nurses?

School Board Nurses are registered nurses licensed by the Florida Board of Nursing. They are experienced in pediatric, public and mental health nursing with strong health promotion, assessment and referral skills. As specialized nursing professionals, they advocate for children's health and safety within the educational setting. The goal of the School Board Nurses is to have students healthy, in school, and ready to learn.
