Special education health
services will be provided in accordance to the Administrative Rules of Special Education and Garner-Hayfield School Board
Policy. An Individual Health Plan (IHP), including a plan for emergencies (EP), may be developed for students when their
health condition warrants. The school nurse, in collaboration with parents, doctors, and the IEP Team, will determine
the special health services to be provided and document the services in a written Individual Health Plan (IHP) and/or Emergency
Plan (EP). Special health services will be documented in the IEP and delivered in compliance with state special education
laws, district polices, and professional nursing practice, as defined by the Iowa Board of Nursing. Because
comprehensive assessment and pre-planning promote student safety, wellness and continuity of care while at school, parents
are encouraged to immediately notify the school nurse or special education coordinator regarding their student’s health
condition or need for special health services.
