13. Current Structure What’s Going On in the CCCs

14. State Education Code Regulations CCC Health Services Not mandated Regulated by the Education Code* Must be supervised by a Master’s prepared Public Health Nurse if Health Fees are collected (see HSACCC position statement) Mandate for Health Services established prior to 1988 Must be maintained at the level of services provided at that time Qualifies for Maintenance of Effort reimbursements if Health Fee revenue does not cover expenditures to meet the mandate * ED. CODE 76355, 76401, 76403, 76407 ; TITLE 5: 53411, 54702, 54706, 54708, 53411

15. State Education Code Regulations Ed Codes outline what services may be provided with the Health Fee including: clinical services mental health services support services special services. District’s Board of Trustees decide whether or not to charge a Health Fee and, if so: how much to charge (max $19/sem) additional Health Fee waivers, if any, beyond those required the scope of health services provided by the District via an approved “Health Services Plan”

16. Non-Mandated Program: Implications No centralized data is collected by the CCC system office with complete statewide data regarding the status of health services across the State. No mechanism in place to monitor compliance by the 72 Districts regarding Health Services related Education Code. Data on the overall health status of CCC students is not collected by the system office, i.e. health insurance status, immunization status, etc.
