Members of the Fayette County Board of Education are reconsidering a move away from the Fayette County Health Department for school nurses next school year. Board Chair Tyler Murphy said they’ve asked district staff to renegotiate a one-year extension of their current contract with the health department for more than 50 school nurses. He said another option is possible down the road.
“We've asked staff to conduct a feasibility study on the possibility of an in-house model for providing our nursing staff so we wouldn't have to rely on external staffing agencies to provide the services and just explore what some of our options might be.”
