Incompetence in school health

Just read an aricle in my local newspaper. (yes; some of us still like to have that rag in our hands!)  my sons (now adults) and I moved to this city from Berkeley nearly 4 years ago. I can’t say the schools are any worse here. They were very “politically correct” to a fault there. But I did do a  9 day stint as a school nurse last fall, with the schools in this city. My application took months to process, to the tune of about $200. I was so disenchanted by the poor, no, incompetent communication within the school health staff. There are apparently 99 schools in

this city, with 67 school nurses. Then why was I assigned to 17 schools, all over the city, at all educational levels? I liked my schools but the incompetence of the program appalled me. I cannot work for people that I do not respect.
