    I did contact the Ohio Department of Education and they were not really helpful. I was told that maintaining and retaining student health records is governed by the district, and there are no state laws, policies, guidelines to go by...........
  3. Paper Records - What must be retained?

    Does anyone have any information or guidance on continuing to maintain paper records? I work in a large district that is moving further towards a truly paperless system. The question has been raised as to what paper documents must or should be kept i...

  6. Heartbreaking. What would you have done?

    Looking at the video, I believe that the nurse was called to the scene. (she looks to be wearing red scrub pants). I don't believe that she knew that the boy was down for so long and who knows what she was told by administration. I agree that adminis...

    Surveillance video was released today involving an attack on an 8 year old who committed suicide 2 days later. The Mother is accusing the school of not telling her what really happened as caught on video, only that he fainted. If you Google you can s...
  8. School nurse spots leukemia in a pupil

    Nope ! I thought that too
  9. Blindsided by a colleague.

    Perhaps the student flat out lied to her about what happened or what was said during his visit. I once had a Mom who became very upset with me because her middle school daughter told her that I believed her SA was psychosomatic (she of course did not...

  12. If a child is removed from the home, do you get informed?

    A couple years ago I had an ill student who needed to go home so I called his Mom "Kendra". Imagine my embarrassment when "Kendra" had to correct me by saying that her name has legally been changed to "Kenneth", and would I please call him "Kenny." N...
  13. C'Mon Now!

    I had a young lady announce to me that she had to go home because she had a "female accident". She did not seem particularly happy when I offered her a pair of brand new panties. I became suspicious when she was in and out of the restroom in less tha...
  14. Off topic: 8 year old found out Santa doesn't exist

    Even when I stopped believing in flying reindeer and Santa going down the chimney, I still believed in Santa. All the gifts were just delivered by Santa's helpers in large semi trucks! I still remember the moment when I realized that he was not real....
