The degree of compliance required throughout these rules is designated using the words “shall”, “must”, or “may”. “Shall” or “must” means mandatory. “May” means permissive. The use of the words, “proper” and “appropriate” mean the degree of compliance that is generally accepted throughout the professional field and by those who provide school-based health center services to the public in facilities governed by these rules. However, if any other applicable statute or rule requires mandatory or stricter compliance for school-based health center services than these rules, the school and the SBHC sponsoring agency must comply with the stricter compliance requirements.
