Health Care Team

Our Austintown Local Schools (ALS) District 

Nurses and their roles:

• Our District Nurses (RN) are AEA members, have a minimum of a Bachelor's degree, and cover all of the Austintown Local Schools. Both of our District Nurses (RN) are Licensed School Nurses and their duties include ensuring that district policy and procedures are followed when providing care for our students, conducting screenings and evaluations, and developing individual healthcare plans (IHCP) for students. Any medical concerns and treatments regarding our students should be directed to one of the District Nurses (RN) to serve, evaluate and/or implement changes in the child's medical needs while at school.

• A Medical Assistant (MA) serves in each school clinic to assist in basic first aid need, provide medication administration as needed, perform vision & hearing screening tests, make sure the vaccines are checked, ensure emergency forms are completed, and compile health concerns. The Medical Assistants have continual training and are in frequent communication with our District Nurses during the day.
