Jessup calls for school health
service information upgrading

other health services needed.

Impetus for the mation, Regan
said, was to amass some of that
information, ‘so we can in-
vestigate other ways to provide the
Necessary services. | get concerned
about how much the school system
has taken on responsibilities
(health services) and functions that
used to be provided by parents.”

Regan pointed to such con-
troversial subjects as sex education
as areas where responsibilities
should be shared by parents,
“because classroom presentations
are just not effective if they are not
reinforced by parents.’’

He said the motion was not
meant as a criticism of health ser-
vices provided by the North Shore
Union Board of Health (NSUBH),
It represented, he said, merely a
means of compiling information.

But trustee Marg Jessup ex-
pressed concern over the method
of information gathering contained
in Regan’s motion.

She said the distric’ had to be
looked at as a whole and examined
in relation to other health services
provided outside schools.

Basic health services that schools
were required to provide under
sections 100 and 103 of the School
Act, she said, included examina-
tion of pupils, examination of
schools, determination of com-
municable diseases and supervising
exercise.

Jessup said she was all for an
upgrading of health service infor-
mation, “but we have to look at
the health services of the school
district as a whole. The proposed
method of a school by school in-
ventory will not accurately get chat
information."'

Trustee Dorothy Lynas agreed.
She said individual school prin-
cipals could not be expected to
know precisely what health services
a school might need for a year.

But Regan said he could not
follow the reasoning behind such

objections. He emphasized that his
motion represented only the first
stage in an overall assessment: of
district health services,

The board eventually passed an
amended motion that combined an
opening paragraph, which re-
quested the superintendent provide
the board with an estimate of an-
nual hours of aursing and other
services needed by the district to
meet the requirements of sections
100 and 103 of the School Act,
with Regan's original motion.
