. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature that the governing
board of each school district and each county superintendent of
schools maintain fundamental school health services at a level that
is adequate to accomplish all of the following:
(1) Preserve pupils' ability to learn.
(2) Fulfill existing state requirements and policies regarding
pupils' health.
(3) Contain health care costs through preventive programs and
education.
(b) The Legislature finds and declares that the provision of these
services may be in jeopardy due to the current caseloads in the
public schools, and that failure to maintain adequate health services
and standards will result in pupils' poorer health and ability to
learn.
