Some schools will hire LPNs, but yes, most hire RNs, and it's better to have a BSN above an associates degree because in a BSN program you will get a Public / Community Health course, which is important when working with a population such as students.
There are no additional requirements, you only need to have your RN license.

Go to the source. Contact a local elementary school and talk to their school nurse.

All that is required is the RN. After that you just apply at the school. No additional requirements.

NO, you don't just need your RN licence. School nurses need to be able to work independently without direct supervision. No new grad has that capacity. You preferably should have your bachelor's degree and have some background as a pediatric or community health nurse.
