I checked CT regulations. There has to be at least one RN in each district.

State law requires each local or regional board of education to appoint at least one school nurse or nurse practitioner (another title for advanced practice registered nurse or APRN). School nurses must meet the qualifications established in regulations adopted by the State Board of Education in consultation with the Public Health Department. And they must submit to a criminal history record check (CGS § 10-212).

With some exceptions, these regulations (Conn. Agency Regs., 10-212-1 to -7, adopted in 1982 and incorporated in the Public Health Code) require a school nurse to be an RN with a current Connecticut license. The nurse must have the equivalent of at least one year of full-time employment as an RN within the immediate past five years. And the nurse must have among his or her educational experience at least 12 college credits, 18 continuing education units (CEUs), or 180 workshop or in-service training hours distributed as follows:
