Human Papillomavirus is the most common STI.  Many young people become infected

Some people are infected with the virus, but  never develop signs and symptoms and

Dahle (R) Revises AB 1722

An updated version of AB 1722 was released by Assemblymember Dahle and staff. The revised legislation focuses on, in the event multiple attempts to hire a credentialed school nurse are unsuccessful or when there are no school nurse applicants, the district may hire an RN or LVN.  The hired RN or LVN must be supervised by a credentialed school nurse in a district or county office of education.  Dahle's Assembly District 01 covers the very rural areas of Northern California where staffing struggles are exacerbated by distance and rural landscape. Districts have turned to the Assemblymember reporting that individuals with health care experience are better than having no one. There are models where districts contract with LEA's  to provide services with multiple levels of practitioner types.  With respect to hearing screening, provided the practitioner obtains a school audiometric certification, they may work with the credentialed school nurse to provide hearing screening.  We recognize this has been difficult, but the intent is to provide students access to some type of health care in the educational setting.  In a call today, CSNO met with the California Board of Registered Nursing, California Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians, the California Department of Education State School Consultant, and CSNO Lobbyists.  There were additional recommendations that were sent forward and CSNO will continue to offer language and work with the author.  The bill is scheduled to be heard tomorrow, March 29, 2023 in the Education Committee  https://aedn.assembly.ca.gov/hearings.  To review the updated language of AB 1722, please visit https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Di2J-IG-UO-bwLhrvVXaGbB4loK29Xlw/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=106230973490814010142&rtpof=true&sd=true

 Policy Statement

AAP Policy Statement on Off-Label Medication Use
The American Academy of Pediatrics has a position statement on the use of off-label medication use with children. The purpose of off-label use is to benefit the individual patient. Practitioners use their professional judgment to determine these uses. As such, the term “off-label” does not imply an improper, illegal, contraindicated, or investigational use. Therapeutic decision-making must always rely on the best available evidence and the importance of the benefit for the individual patient.
