The board of school directors may expend in any given school year from its funds a sum not to exceed three percent of that year's school budget for current expense for such health service activities as may be necessary to provide for the improvement of the physical efficiency of school children of indigent parents. Expenditures for this purpose may include the purchase of milk for underweight or undernourished children, the purchase of ingredients for hot lunches, eyeglasses, dental service, the removal of tonsils and other health services which are approved by the town health officer and the teacher or public health nurse. The right to determine who is an indigent parent shall be in the discretion of such board.
