The
School Nurse Corps is a statewide program administered by the regional
Educational Service District with funds allocated by the Washington
state legislature through the Office of the Superintendent of Public
Instruction. The priority of the program is to deploy RN services
to school districts with little or no nursing service. This practical
hands-on program works to get essential services to districts where
they are most needed.
Services:
The School Nurse Corps, in partnership with schools, families and
communities, facilitates student success by addressing health needs
that interfere with learning. We work under federal and state laws
and regulations and practice within professional standards outlined
by school nurse and school health organizations. ESD 105 School
Nurse Corps provides:
- Coordination
of Registered Nurse (RN) services to selected, small school districts
in accordance with state-mandated eligibility and documented need.
- Consultation
and information for all school districts regarding student health
issues and school health systems.
- Health Resource

Library for all ESD 105 school district employees
- Monthly school
nurse meetings for professional development and supporting school

in Class II districts receive medication and/or medical treatment
in compliance with current laws and accepted standards and with
