N.Y. Education Law § 912: Health and welfare services to all children

§ 912. Health and welfare services to all children. The voters and/or

trustees or board of education of every school district shall, upon

request of the authorities of a school other than public, provide

resident children who attend such school with any or all of the health

and welfare services and facilities which are made available by such

voters and/or trustees or board of education to or for children

attending the public schools of the district. Such services may include,

but are not limited to all services performed by a physician, physician

assistant, dentist, dental hygienist, registered professional nurse,

nurse practitioner, school psychologist, school social worker or school

speech therapist, and may also include dental prophylaxis, vision and

hearing screening examinations, the taking of medical histories and the

administration of health screening tests, the maintenance of cumulative

health records and the administration of emergency care programs for ill

or injured students. Any such services or facilities shall be so

provided notwithstanding any provision of any charter or other provision

of law inconsistent herewith. Where children residing in one school

district attend a school other than public located in another school

district, the school authorities of the district of residence shall

contract with the school authorities of the district where such

nonpublic school is located, for the provision of such health and

welfare services and facilities to such children by the school district

where such nonpublic school is located, for a consideration to be agreed

upon between the school authorities of such districts, subject to the

approval of the qualified voters of the district of residence when

required under the provisions of this chapter. Every such contract shall

be in writing and in the form prescribed by the commissioner, and before

such contract is executed the same shall be submitted for approval to

the superintendent of schools having jurisdiction over such district of

residence and such contract shall not become effective until approved by

such superintendent.
