You would get written notice if your child's campus goes more than 30 school days without a nurse
What it does
HB 133 would require a school campus to notify parents in writing if it does not have a full-time nurse, or the equivalent, assigned to be on site for more than 30 consecutive instructional days in the same school year. A campus counts as having the equivalent if it has two or more nurses assigned and one nurse covers all regular instructional hours. The principal would have to send the notice no later than the 30th instructional day after the first day the nurse was missing, and the campus would have to try to provide it in a bilingual form to parents whose primary language is not English and keep a copy. The bill applies beginning with the 2027-2028 school year.
What it means for your community
If your child's campus goes more than 30 straight instructional days without a nurse on site, you would get written notice. You might get it as a post on the campus website, which the bill allows if it is no more than three links from the home page. Schools would have to make a good faith effort to give the notice in a language other than English when that is your primary language. The rule starts with the 2027-2028 school year, so it would not apply during the school year now underway.
