The mission of the School Health Services Program is to appraise, protect and promote the health of students.  Preventive and emergency school-based health services are provided to public school children in grades kindergarten through twelve.  Services are provided in accordance with a local School Health Services Plan jointly developed by the Florida Department of Health in Broward County, Broward County School District and the Broward County Comprehensive School Health Advisory Committee.

School-based health services are an important component of the public health system and help to assure that students are healthy, in the classroom, and ready to learn. 
 

Core services of the Basic school health services program are:
  
    • nursing assessments
   • health counseling
   • referrals and follow-up for suspected or confirmed health problems
   • individualized health care plan development
   • in-school care management for chronic and acute health conditions
   • assistance with medication administration and health care procedures
   • vision, hearing, scoliosis, and growth and development screenings
   • first aid and emergency health services 
   • communicable disease prevention and intervention
   • emergency preparedness. 

Comprehensive school health services are provided in five schools and include increased services for student health management, interventions and classes. These services:
  
   • promote student health
   • reduce high-risk behaviors and their consequences (substance abuse, unintentional/intentional injuries, and sexually transmitted diseases)
   • provide pregnancy prevention classes and interventions
   • provide support services to promote return to school after giving birth.
