Abstract
Since compulsory public education began in the United States, a component of that system which now is titled, School Health Services, has existed. Even with this history, the concept remains somewhat nebulous, even in the minds of its supporters, because of a paucity of verifiable, reproducible research in the area. Until research catches up with practice, and legislation is guided by firm data, it is essential to continue to clarify and strengthen the existing system. That system with a professionally prepared school nurse as its central focus provides the greatest hope for addressing the problems that are within the scope of school health service practice.Keywords
