Brazosport Independent School District recognizes
that good health is a basic prerequisite for grasping educational
opportunities and seeks to provide this for its students. The School
Health Services Program aims to be an integral part of the
educational process by encouraging, promoting, and providing health
services conducive to healthful living habits and in meeting
students needs resulting from disease, accident, congenital defects
or psychological maladjustments.

Mission:
The Health Services program in Brazosport Independent School
District includes prevention, intervention, promotion, and
health teaching. Education is enhanced through seeking
optimal levels of wellness and by the modification or
removal of health-related problems that may hinder learning.
Health counseling, referral, health education, and health
promotion facilitate the educational process and the pursuit
of a healthy lifestyle and foster the concept of responsible
decision making regarding self-care.
Goals:
- Health services provided by the school
shall be planned as an integral part of a community effort
to protect and maintain the health of each child.
- The school staff shall cooperate with
other concerned agencies in determining the extent and
nature of the services for which the school shall be
responsible.
- The Board of Trustees, on the
recommendation of the Superintendent and in cooperation
with local physicians, shall adopt and enforce regulations
concerning the exclusion from school and the readmission
of pupils exposed to communicable disease.
- Policies concerning emergency care,
health surveys, immunizations and the like shall be
developed in a similar manner.
