Provides that the school principal and the parents or guardian must develop and agree on a plan. Provides that absent a full-time school nurse, the school principal must appoint, supervise, and coordinate the training of a designated health care aide to perform the tasks necessary to assist a student in accordance with the plan. Provides that a school must provide a one-page information sheet regarding a student's plan to each employee providing transportation for the student or supervising the student during a school-sponsored activity.
