Education Policy Questions
The role of school nurses in education policy is to promote and support the health and well-being of students within the school system. They play a crucial role in implementing and enforcing health-related policies and procedures, such as immunization requirements, medication administration, and emergency response protocols. School nurses also collaborate with educators, administrators, and parents to address health concerns that may impact a student's ability to learn and succeed academically. They provide health education, screenings, and referrals, as well as advocate for policies that prioritize the overall health and safety of students.
