Who, how did you form this conclusion:
"Also when placed in perspective HLA was providing better services than 75% (exceeding expectations) of the school districts (based on the 2000 study) in the state of Georgia and then joined the 75% (majority) population when they lost their Nurse and the duties were off loaded to a secretary. So they are in line with the rest of Georgia schools."
This is 2006, post legislation. Are you saying that 75% of districts currently have no nurses?
I couldn't find anything to support that.

Yeah, I guess that is a little confusing. I read the report as stating that 75% of the nurses delegated their responsibilities of dispensing meds to unqualified people , secretaries etc. When HLA had a nurse I am lead to believe that she was handing out the meds so HLA was exceeding expectations or doing better than 75% of the other schools.
When HLA lost their nurse then the responsibilities went to a unqualified person which now falls into the 75% population (as compared to the 2000 study).
I am not sure what the 2006 stats are, but, no, I am not saying that ?75% of districts currently have no nurses?
I think HLA needs to get a nurse in place ASAP ! Especially if they are located in a remote area.
SHH:
I think they should have a nurse too, however, I lived there where the school is for 4 years, and town wasnt all that far away. The hospital is 10 miles away, they have a helicopter, and the Army Rangers have one too and they are about 2 miles away. It is remote if you have to walk somewhere, but its a 10 min drive to town where the hospital is. That being said, I think every school should have a nurse, public, private, etc.

Let me reiterate: HLA fired their nurse. She wasn't lost.
They should have had a replacement in place before they let her go. Having no nurse there is grossly negligent - a fact that will be sadly illustrated when someone gets hurt or worse.

I don?t think it matters, either way there is a void. If the school feels there is a need the void will be filled ASAP, the situation is far from grossly negligent, it happens everyday throughout the country. There are no schools or companies that are immune.
The point of whether she was fired, let go, laid off, quit, resigned or gave notice is mute. The question now is how to back-fill and define a process the covers the kids in case of an emergency. The school has probably been advised and have something in place. If I had a child there I would call and find out what is in place short term.
Troll Control:
It should and does matter that she was fired.
One, they knew in advance that there would be no nurse on the premises.
Two, they should have had a competent professional in place for the "interim."
You don't think it's negligent not to have medical personnel on a campus where in the past they have had suicide attempts, forcible rape/sodomy, assaults and other traumas, not to mention that the vast majority of the students are on cocktails of serious psychotropic and other medications that if mixed could cause death?
If you do indeed view this as "not negligent" then you have a serious defecit in your ability to reason.
