Audit urges savings in district nurse staffing decision
A legislative audit shows Au burn-Washburn USD 487 could save about 68 thousand dollars annually by replacing four of its ten nurses with health aides. The move would also trim state pension costs by nine thousand dollars, though former superintendent Brenda Dietrich notes parents prefer nurses. USD 487 might hire a certified nurse assistant at Tallgrass Learning Center in future openings while keeping licensed nurses for complex care.
