Two Bollinger County school districts will receive nursing services, health education and screenings as a result of a state grant.
The $27,400 grant will be used to purchase equipment and hire a registered nurse to work two days a week each at Leopold and Zalma schools and one day a week at the Bollinger County Health Department clinic.
In addition, Southeast Missouri State University students will provide health education and screenings at the schools.
