DE HB101

Requires high needs elementary schools, including high needs elementary charter schools, to establish school-based health centers compliant with § 3571G of Title 18.

Defines "high needs elementary school" as any elementary school in the top quartile in 3 or more categories (low-income students, English learners, students with disabilities, or minority students) or having 90% of students in these classifications.

State shall fund start-up costs for school-based health centers at a rate of at least 2 high needs elementary schools per fiscal year until all covered schools achieve compliance.

Exempts charter high schools, alternative schools, and early education schools from the health center requirement, but includes vocational-technical schools and high needs elementary charter schools.

Allows high needs elementary schools with pre-existing school-based health centers to apply to the Department of Education for reimbursement of previously incurred establishment expenses.
