The proposed structure includes recommendations for duties, credentials, and supervision of all school health services personnel. A group consisting of representatives from the Department of Health, State Department of Education, New Mexico School Nurse Association, New Mexico Nurses Association, parents, and colleges of nursing collaborated in this effort. The Healthier Kids Fund was created to provide primary care services for school age children who are uninsured or underinsured. School nurses and other school personnel who identify children in need of health care services but without a source of payment may refer the children for enrollment to a Medicaid Primary Care Network provider or the Children's Medical Services office in their community.
