Happy Hour-December 12, 2022; 2:15-4:00 Open to all school nurses Michael Powell, CDPH, AB 1797 Implementation; Immunization Registry

AB 1797 requires health care providers and other agencies, including schools, childcare facilities, family childcare homes, and county human services agencies to disclose the specified immunization information, and would add the patient's or client's race and ethnicity to the list of information that shall or may be disclosed. AB 1797 goes into effect Jan 1, 2023, and would, until January 1, 2026, authorize schools, childcare facilities, family childcare homes, and county human services agencies to use the specified immunization information, for the COVID-19 public health emergency, to perform immunization status assessments of pupils, adults, and clients to ensure health and safety. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

You are invited to a Zoom meeting.

The U.S. Department of Education and the Office for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released updated joint guidance addressing the application of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Privacy Rule to records maintained on students.

The guidance, which was first issued in November 2008, clarifies for school administrators, health care professionals, families, and others how FERPA and HIPAA apply to education and health records maintained about students.  The revised guidance includes additional frequently asked questions and answers addressing when a student’s health information can be shared without the written consent of the parent or eligible student under FERPA, or without written authorization under the HIPAA Privacy Rule.

1. RIGHT TO REMAIN IN YOUR SCHOOL OF ORIGIN

You have the right to stay in the same school after you move to a new foster care placement. Your "school of origin" can be:

1. The school you attended when you first entered foster care,

2. The school you most recently attended, or

3. Any school you attended in the last 15 months that you feel connected to.

Your school district must work with you, your education rights holder,* your caregiver, and your social worker/probation officer to develop a plan to transport you to your school of origin.

If you are transitioning from elementary school to middle school or from middle school to high school, you have the right to transition to the same school as your classmates.

If there is any disagreement about which school you will attend, you have the right to stay in your school of origin until the disagreement is resolved.

2. RIGHT TO IMMEDIATE ENROLLMENT IN SCHOOL

You have the right to immediately enroll in your regular home school after you move placements.

You cannot be forced to attend a continuation school or other alternative education program, such as independent study, even if you are behind in credits or have discipline problems at school.

You have a right to immediately enroll in school and begin attending classes, even if you do not have the paperwork you would normally need for enrollment (such as birth certificate, transcript, or individualized education program) or you did not check-out from your previous school.

Your previous school must send your education records to your new school after you enroll.

You have the right to participate in any activities available at your new school, such as sports teams, tutoring, or after-school clubs, even if you miss a tryout or sign-up deadline.

3. RIGHT TO PARTIAL CREDITS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

If you change schools during the school year, you have a right to partial credits in all classes that you are passing when you leave your old school, even if you do not complete the entire class.

After you change schools, your new school must accept the partial credits issued by your old school.

After you change schools, you have the right to be enrolled in the same or similar classes you were enrolled in at your last school.

You cannot be forced to retake a class or part of a class that you have already completed with a passing grade, if it would make you off-track for high school graduation.

You have the right to take or retake any class that you need to go to a California State University or University of California.

Your grade cannot be lowered because you were absent from school for a court hearing, placement change, or a court-related activity.

4. GRADUATION RIGHTS

You have the right to stay in high school for a fifth year to complete your school district graduation requirements, even if you are over 18.

If you are behind on your credits, and you transferred schools after 10th grade, you may be eligible to graduate under Assembly Bill (AB) 167/216 by completing only the state graduation requirements (130 credits in specific classes) instead of your school district's requirements.

If you are eligible, the decision of whether to graduate under AB 167/216 is made by your education rights holder.

5. COLLEGE RIGHTS

You have the right to have the application fee waived when you apply to a community college in California.

You have the right to receive the maximum amount of federal student aid and you may be eligible for up to $5,000 per year from the Chafee scholarship.

6. SCHOOL DISCIPLINE RIGHTS

You cannot be suspended for more than 5 school days in a row or for more than 20 days in a school year.

You have a right to be told why you are being suspended and the right to provide your version of events and evidence before you are suspended, unless there is an emergency. If the behavior for which you are being suspended could subject you to criminal charges, you should consult with your education rights holder or attorney before providing an oral or written statement to the school or police.

Your attorney and social worker must be invited to a meeting before your suspension can be extended beyond 5 days and a suspension can only be extended if you are being considered for expulsion.

You have a right to a formal hearing, and to be represented by an attorney at that hearing, before you are expelled.

If you are facing a possible expulsion, your attorney and social worker must be notified. If you are in special education, your attorney and social worker must be invited to a meeting to decide whether your behavior was related to your disability.

7. RIGHT TO YOUR SCHOOL RECORDS

You have the right to access your school records if you are16 years or older or have finished 10th grade.

Your social worker/probation officer and education rights holder can access your school records as well.

Non-Education Rights

As a foster youth, you also have other rights that are not related to school, such as the right to see a doctor or to have private storage space. For more information, please see the Foster Youth Bill of Rights .

Education Rights Holders

Every foster youth under age 18 must have an education rights holder, who is required to make education decisions in the youth's best interest. Foster youth who are 18 or older have the right to make their own education decisions. Your education rights holder may be your parent or legal guardian, your caregiver, or another person chosen by the court. Your education rights holder cannot be your social worker or probation officer, your attorney, or group home or school staff members. It is important to know who your education rights holder is. If you need information about who your education rights holder is, you can contact your social worker or attorney.

If you believe your education rights have been violated, you can file a complaint. The school has 60 days to investigate and give you a written response. For information about how to file a complaint, please visit the California Department of Education's Uniform Complaint Procedures, or call the California Department of Education Integrated Student Support and Program Office at 916-319-0836.

For more information about your education rights, please see the Foster Youth Education Toolkit or the California Youth Education Task Force . You also can contact your school district's Foster Youth Educational Liaison or your county's Foster Youth Services Coordinating Program (FYSC) from the Foster Youth Services page.

Immunizations Overview

Immunizations are one of the greatest public health achievements, preventing tens of thousands of deaths, millions of cases of disease, and saving billions of dollars per decade. Immunizations are a safe, effective way to protect children from disease, including some cancers, as well as hospitalization, disability, and death. It is especially important during a pandemic or other public health emergency to maintain routine immunizations to prevent further outbreaks.

Pediatricians play a crucial role in immunizing children and are a trusted source for vaccine information. Vaccine conversations with parents should begin as early as possible - at prenatal visits/interviews ideally - as families often make immunization decisions during pregnancy through the first 2 months of baby's life.

AAP Recommendations

The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommends immunizations as the safest and most cost-effective way of preventing disease, disability, and death. The AAP calls for the on-time, routine immunization of all children and adolescents according to its policy, Recommended Immunization Schedules for Children and Adolescents Aged 18 Years or Younger, United States, 2022.

The AAP Red Book serves as policy of the AAP and is written by the AAP Committee on Infectious Diseases. Chapter 1 of the Red Book focuses on Immunizations. Chapter 3 includes Summaries of Infectious Diseases, including those prevented by routine immunization.

The AAP supports regulations and laws requiring immunizations to attend child care and school, with exemptions for specific immunizations only when medically contraindicated for an individual child. The AAP views nonmedical exemptions to school-required immunizations as inappropriate for individual, public health, and ethical reasons and advocates for their elimination. More is available in the policy statement, Medical Versus Nonmedical Immunization Exemptions for Child Care and School Attendance.

To support routine and on-time vaccination of adolescents, the AAP has issued the clinical report, The Need to Optimize Adolescent Immunization, which reminds pediatricians that every visit is an opportunity to vaccinate.

Other AAP Policies and Clinical Reports include the following:

Update to Verification of California Licensure Process

On March 10, 2022, license verification requests previously completed by the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) will be completed by Nursys®. Nursys® provides online verification for endorsement to a nurse requesting to practice in another state and anyone who wants to verify a nurse license.

As the BRN is transitioning to Nursys® there will be a short period of time that a verification request can be made through your BreEZe account; however, it is encouraged that this option is not used. It is anticipated that this option will be removed from BreEZe in April 2022.

To request an out of state verification, please visit the Nursys® website: https://www.nursys.com/

Fraud Alert - Fake DCA Representative Scam Aimed at Licensees

The Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) has learned of an attempted scam aimed at licensees of DCA's boards and bureaus. In the scheme, an individual falsely identifying themselves as an employee of the Acupuncture Board has contacted licensees and attempted to gather personal information.

If you receive a call from an individual claiming to be an employee of the Acupuncture Board (or any other DCA board or bureau) and they attempt to gather personal information, please consider the following:

· If you receive a call, simply take down the caller's information (including name, title, phone number and email address), let them know you will follow-up directly with the department/board/bureau, and end the call.
· You may also consider ending the call without explanation if it appears suspicious or to be a scam.
· Contact the board or bureau responsible for issuing your license. Contact information for all DCA boards and bureaus can be found via this webpage: https://www.dca.ca.gov/about_us/entities.shtml
· If you don't know who to contact at DCA, call the Consumer Information Center at (800) 952-5210 for assistance and to get directed to the appropriate entity.
· NEVER disclose any personal information, i.e. social security numbers, date of births, or credit/debit card numbers, without first taking steps to verify that the person requesting the information has a legitimate need for it.

New CURES Fees Effective April 1, 2021

Effective April 1, 2021, the Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System (CURES) fee will increase from $6 to $11 annually for a period of two years. The increase will be applied to licenses expiring after July 1, 2021, and is assessed at the time of license renewal on specified licensees of the Board of Registered Nursing that prescribe, order, administer, furnish, or dispense Schedule II, Schedule III, Schedule IV, or Schedule V controlled substances.

Most licensees will see a $22 CURES Fee due to the biennial renewal cycle. The fee covers the reasonable regulatory costs of the Department of Justice for operating and maintaining CURES, a critical element in the state's effort to address the growing danger of opioid addiction stemming from prescription drug abuse.

For more information about CURES, visit: https://oag.ca.gov/cures.

Fake BRN Representative/DEA Agents Extortion Scam

The California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN or Board) has learned that scam artists posing as U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents or Board investigators are calling California registered nurses as part of an extortion scheme. The scammers identify themselves as DEA agents or Board investigators, calling about ongoing investigations regarding their license issued by the BRN. The scammers tell victims their license may be suspended for illegal drug trafficking. The scammers may provide a "Notice of Suspension" letter with BRN's letterhead and/or logo which includes statements that licensees must follow instructions given by the Board investigator. The scammers are also asking for licensee bank account information. The scammers' phone number may show up as the BRN's office number (916) 322-3350.

No DEA agent, BRN investigator or staff member, will ever contact RNs by telephone to demand money or any other form of payment. If you receive a call such as the one described, refuse the demand for payment. Do not disclose any personal information, i.e., social security number, dates of birth, credit or debit card numbers.

Occupational Analysis Participation Opportunity

PROJECT:
As part of the implementation of AB 890, the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) has entered into an agreement with the Department of Consumer Affairs' Office of Professional Examination Services (OPES) to conduct an Occupational Analysis (OA) of the Nurse Practitioner (NP) profession. The purpose of this project is to identify the tasks, knowledge, and skills that are a necessary part of the practice so they may be used to evaluate the BRN accepted NP certification examinations. The assistance of licensed NPs is needed to provide information on current practice.

Subject Matter Expert (SME) input is critical to each phase of the OA in that they provide the information to define the tasks performed in the practice. SMEs also define the knowledge that is necessary to perform tasks safely, in compliance with standards of care.

The BRN is currently recruiting licensees to serve as SMEs to participate in the OA process. As a licensed NP, the BRN requests your assistance in this process. New licensees (5 years or less) are encouraged to apply as well, as your input is needed to maintain standards at entry level.

For Frequently Asked Questions about the OA please select the following link: OA - FAQ

SME PARTICIPATION:

The OA interviews and workshops will be conducted by teleconference in July and August 2021. SMEs are needed for the following processes:

Family Urgent Response System (FURS)

On behalf of the CDSS FURS Implementation Team, the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) is proud to announce the launch of:

Family Urgent Response System (FURS)
MARCH 1, 2021 at 8:00 a.m.

FURS includes a 24/7 Statewide Hotline and a 24/7 County-based Mobile Response and Stabilization!! FURS will provide current and former foster youth (up to age 21) and their caregivers with immediate, trauma-informed support by caring and trained professionals when they need it.

FURS is intended to:

Prevent placement disruptions and preserve the relationship between the child or youth and their caregiver

Reduce the need for a 911 call or law enforcement involvement and the needless criminalization of traumatized youth

Reduce hospitalization and placement into congregate care

Promote healing as a family

Provide a safe and judgement-free space for youth and caregivers

Please help us spread the word by sharing the attached flyers (youth and caregiver versions) with organizations, agencies, contacts, youth and families.

If you would like more information or have questions about FURS, please feel free to contact the FURS Implementation Team at FURS@dss.ca.gov or check out our website: cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/cdss-programs/foster-care/furs

Coordinate, support, and expand foster youth tutoring programs.

Strengthen relationships with partner agencies serving foster youth, including county departments, VOICES Sonoma, and Santa Rosa Junior College.

Implement the Foster Focus software, which allows for the transfer of student information to expedite school enrollment.

School District Liaisons

District Foster Youth Education Liaisons support foster youth in their districts by:

Facilitating immediate enrollment in school

Ensuring the timely transfer of education records when a foster youth changes school placements

Supporting academic achievement

Encouraging school attendance and reducing truancy and drop-out rates

Reducing incidents of student discipline problems and juvenile delinquency

Communicating with foster youth and appropriate supporting individuals such as foster parents, education rights holders, social workers, and CASA in order to provide coordinated support to foster youth.

This screening packet is reviewed by a SCOE DHH specialist to provide assistance to the district in determining if an assessment for special education eligibility is appropriate. If the district finds that an assessment is appropriate, then an assessment plan will be developed and sent to the parent or educational rights holder for review and consent.

DHH Referral

If an assessment is recommended, a SELPA Special Education Referral form is completed and signed by appropriate school personnel. Other documents may also be required from the school or sent to the student's parents at this time.

Senate Bill 210 (Galgiani) Committee

Purpose and Background: Senate Bill (SB) 210 (Galgiani) requires the California Department of Education (CDE) to select language developmental milestones from existing standardized norms and develop a resource for use by parents of children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing (birth-five). The bill further requires the CDE to select existing tools or assessments that educators can use to assess the language and literacy development of young children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. These tools are to be used, in addition to the assessment required by federal law, to track the linguistic development of young children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.
The first meeting of the SB 210 (Galgiani) Committee will be Thursday, September 29, 2016.

Notes

The abbreviations on this table (Column 3) were standardized jointly by staff of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ACIP Work Groups, the editor of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), the editor of Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases (the Pink Book), ACIP members, and liaison organizations to the ACIP.These abbreviations are intended to provide a uniform approach to vaccine references used in ACIP Recommendations and Policy Notes published in the MMWR, the Pink Book, and the American Academy of Pediatrics Red Book, and in the U.S. immunization schedules for children, adolescents, and adults.In descriptions of combination vaccines, a hyphen (-) indicates products in which the active components are supplied in their final (combined) form by the manufacturer; a slash ( / ) indicates products in which active components must be mixed by the user.

“Doses in a Routine Series” (Column 6) reflects doses administered to a healthy patient at the recommended ages. It doesn’t necessarily reflect schedules for patients with health conditions or other high-risk factors, alternative schedules, catch-up schedules, or booster doses not part of an initial series. For some combination vaccines, this column represents the routine number of doses for that product, and not necessarily the total number of doses in a complete series for the components. (For example, Kinrix or Quadracel may be used for only 1 dose of multi-dose DTaP and IPV series.)

“Adj.” in the “Comments” column indicates that the vaccine contains an adjuvant.

A hyphen in an age range means “through” (i.e., “6 weeks-6 years” means 6 weeks through 6 years [to the 7th birthday]).
