The New School Health Handbook

This fully updated edition spells out what action school personnel should take when faced with specific physical, emotional and behavioral problems. Covering everything from the common cold to trauma, it helps school personnel make decisions that protect student health -- and prevent litigation. Plus, this new third edition offers expanded information on mental health, special education, teen pregnancy, STDs, and more.

Jerry Newton, M.D., Medical Director of the San Antonio Public Schools for over 20 years and former Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Texas Medical School in San Antonio, is the author of the first two editions of The Handbook (1984, 1989).
