District contracts for nursing at school
Last updated 9/2/2015 at 12:10pm
The Grand Coulee Dam School District is contracting with Coulee Medical Center to provide supervisory nursing services for the new school complex in Coulee Dam.
The school board approved a measure that will provide two days of on-site registered nurse care at the schools, and also provide consultation when needed.
The school also has two practical nurses who provide care, one at each school, five days a week.
The agreement calls for CMC to bill the school district for up to 640 hours of supervisory nursing coverage at $30 an hour during the course of the school year.
The new arrangement replaces registered nurse Cheryl Fercha, who resigned her longstanding position at the school district.
