§ 104810 School Dental Program Cooperation

This law says schools that join a community dental health program must work with the program sponsor, keep records of each child, and have the needed supplies, but schools are not forced to join the program.

Key Takeaways

  • •School boards must cooperate with the program sponsor if they join the dental program.
  • •Participating schools must keep records for each child and keep the supplies the program gives them.
  • •No school is required by law to join the dental disease prevention program.

Example

A public elementary school decides to join a local tooth‑brushing program run by the health department.

The school works with the health department to run the program, keeps a list of which kids take part, and stores the toothbrushes and floss the program provides. If the school chose not to join, the law does not make it do so.
