2. Health support services are services related to health needs that must be addressed on a scheduled basis to enable a student to attend school (e.g., suctioning, injections, tube feeding, personal care – lifting, toiletting, feeding). These services are provided by individuals who are specifically assigned to administer the required procedures. See the School Health Support Services section in Part F of this guide for more information about the provision of these services.
3. Note, however, that for purposes of preparedness, principals are required to com- municate relevant information about any medical conditions requiring emergency response procedures to staff who work with students who have health concerns.
