The Grant County School District is fortunate to have a nurse in each of our six schools, thanks, in part, to a grant received from the Northern Kentucky Health Department, as well as funding from the Grant County Board of Education. In addition to the on-site nurses, Mary Beagle, District Health Coordinator, directs employee and student health initiatives.
Throughout the year, these health care providers meet the immediate health needs as presented by staff and students; promote preventative health measures for staff and students; prepare and maintain Individual Health Plans on students with medical conditions; give meds as needed; and conduct health screenings, including vision, hearing, dental, and height and weight. The health coordinator and school nurses are also available to counsel students and/or parents on individual health needs and to speak to groups on any school health topic.
