Hi, I unfortunately was not able to go to the School based Health center meeting last night. If there is anyone out there that would be willing to give the rundown of the meeting, I am sure there are plenty of people that would love to read it. Thanks
Hi Jenni,Well you would not have had alot of company if you would have went.My wife and I and one other couple, with school aged kids went.Three C.A.T. Team members, two other teachers and the School V.P.,oh and one community minister that home schools.However I was told that the school had a staff meeting thursday and that the School Based Health Center staff went. They talked about possible locations for the center.One suggestion is that it be placed in the elementary school next to the multipurpose room/gym on the lower level next to the exit door leading to the street.Renting a Trailer/module for the clinic was also brought up by the S.B.H.C. nurse and a teacher.So its all in the planning stage right now,so please put the word out to the community. Thank you!
