HEALTH & ALLIED SERVICES Nassau BOCES Health & Allied Services enables the public schools to
provide health services to private and parochial school
students - an
obligation mandated by State Education Law 912 - in an efficient,
cost-effective manner. The program offers a comprehensive array of health and medical services. It puts at the district's disposal a large resource of highly qualified health, mental health and speech professionals skilled at working in schools. The service recruits, hires, orients, Evaluates and supervises these professionals, all of whom are certified and/or licensed. It gives them consistent support and ongoing staff development programs to update them on new health information and regulations. Training is also provided for implementation of state mandates. Health and Allied Services also takes full responsibility for necessary paperwork and billing, which would otherwise require extensive district time. All records for billing are maintained and the appropriate bills are sent to the districts of residence sending children to the non-public school being served. In addition, Health & Allied Service orders all necessary equipment and supplies, saving on costs via bulk purchasing power and cooperative bidding. A district of location can contract for any or all of the following services in meeting its legal requirement to provide non-public school children with services proportionate to those given to students in its own public schools.
