| Licensed school nurses are assigned to each school. All high schools have a full time nurse. In middle and elementary schools the amount of time varies depending on the number of students enrolled, the specialized health procedures required by the students and the number of students receiving special education.
School nurses are licensed by the Minnesota Department of Children, Families and Learning. A bachelor's degree in Nursing with Registered Nurse licensure and Public Health Nursing Certification is required to obtain a school nurse license.
Forty percent of the staff has a Master's Degree in nursing, public health or related fields.
Five Educational Assistants provide support for the Student Health and Wellness program by assisting with monitoring immunization law compliance, providing vision and hearing screening and assisting with health records.
