Abstract / Description

A proposed school-based health center (SBHC) at the new Grand Junction High School campus was voted down 3-2 by the Mesa County Valley School District 51 Board of Education during its March 7 business meeting. Concerns regarding parental rights and a lawsuit against the health center’s proposed operator were two reasons cited by the board members voting against the clinic. (author abstract)
