Would students need parental permission or notification to access the health center?
Oregon law allows anyone age 15 and older to seek medical help without parental permission. That is true of any health facility, not just a school based health center. But staff of the health center would encourage students to communicate with their parents about health care they received at the center. It’s recommended that the district and medical provider develop policies that encourage parental involvement and communication about their children’s health care, within the limits of Oregon law.
