District Health Services. a. All schools shall receive a minimum of ten (10) hours of ESA (certificated) or RN (classified) nursing services each week. Additional hours will be assigned to a school based on need from the District pool. The District pool is calculated based on five (5) hours times the number of District schools (excluding Echo Xxxx). District nurses will work with the nursing staff supervisor to determine staff placement with the supervisor having final approval. The number of ESA nurses will be maintained at four (4.0) FTE. RNs will be hired to maintain a minimum of ten (10) hours per week at each school not staffed with an ESA nurse. Should the District be unable to hire qualified RNs in a timely fashion, the decision to replace ESA nurses with RNs will be reviewed. b. Each 0.9 or 1.0 FTE ESA nurse will provide full nursing services to two (2) schools and will monitor registered nurses (RNs) in their corridor. c. ESA nurses will train and delegate health care responsibilities to RNs, as well as monitor RNs for appropriate nursing services and procedures. New RNs and mentoring ESA nurses will each be paid six (6) hours for induction training in August. d. Health care plans for students will be completed before school begins each year or as required by law. ESA nurses and RNs will be allocated eight (8) extended contractual days. Definitions and constraints upon extended contractual days will align with Article 4, Section 4.3 in its entirety. e. Team leader responsibilities will be fulfilled by an ESA nurse. The nursing team will have one (1) three (3)-hour meeting per month to maximize service to students and schools. The nurses will be able to utilize non-student days throughout the year for additional meetings/trainings if in-building activities are deemed inappropriate for nurses. f. ESA nurses will facilitate a plan in each building for health room coverage and health services delivery. The planning team will include the nurse, principal, school secretary, health room tech (HRT), counselor, psychologist, and LRC 2 staff (if applicable.) Trained HRTs are key to the District health services model. ESA nurses and RNs will train and delegate health care responsibilities to the HRTs and secretaries. To provide continuity, best serve the students, and provide support for the school nurse, one (1) HRT will be assigned the building health room hours whenever possible. When the building schedule permits, this same HRT will be assigned to the health room during student lunch time to administer daily medication and provide health care coverage. g. Minimum HRT time will be designated as follows based on the October 1 student headcount:
