More Nurses in Schools: Supporting Student Health

This act aims to increase the number of nurses in public elementary and secondary schools, especially in high-need areas. This will provide students with better access to healthcare, potentially improving their health, attendance, and academic performance. The program offers grants to schools for hiring additional nurses.
Key points
Schools with a high percentage of low-income students will receive priority for funding to hire nurses.
School nurses will support students with chronic conditions, assist with mental health issues, and help prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
The act seeks to ensure more schools have a full-time nurse, which is currently uncommon in many institutions.
