Florida’s School Health Program provides professional staff and school-based health services to ensure students are healthy, in the classroom, and ready to learn. The School Health Program is established by Florida Statutes and is a collaborative effort of the Florida Department of Health and Department of Education.
School health services are provided in conjunction with the local Hillsborough County Public School District. The Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County provides monitoring and evaluation of school health services as mandated by Florida Statutes.
Throughout the school year, health screenings are provided in specific grades and may include hearing, vision, scoliosis, and growth and development screening. Specific school district health service information may be found on the Hillsborough Public School Health Requirements and Screenings webpage. More information about school entry requirements can be found in the Hillsborough County Public School Student Handbook.
