Individual Health Plans
South Carolina law (Section 59-63-80 and 59-63-90) requires school districts to inform parents and/or legal guardians of the rights of students with special health needs. Students who qualify for services related to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and/or homebound regulations may be entitled to an Individual Health Care Plan. For additional information about Individual Health Care Plans, you may contact your school nurse or the District Health Services Coordinator. The following websites will supply additional information as well:
