Section § 1751
Instead of hiring their own health supervisors, a county school superintendent in California can make a deal, with the county board's approval, to get health services for students from the county health department or a local health district. This can happen if these services are from organizations within the county, either entirely or partly.
In lieu of employing supervisors of health, the county superintendent of schools may, with the approval of the county board of education, contract with the board of supervisors of the county in which he holds office, or with any local health district located wholly or partially within such county, for the provision of health services by employees of the county health department or local health district to pupils in the school districts specified in Section 1750.

The county superintendent of schools may, with the approval of the county board of education, enter into an agreement with the governing board of any school district under his jurisdiction for the provision of any or all health services to the district by the county superintendent of schools. The agreement shall provide for the payment of the cost of providing the services. The county superintendent of schools shall transfer from the funds of the district to the county school service fund the amounts set forth in the agreement.
