Grant Program for Nebulizers in Schools to Aid Children with Asthma

This act aims to enhance the safety of children with asthma in schools. It establishes a grant program enabling elementary and secondary schools to purchase nebulizers and train staff. This ensures that students experiencing asthma attacks can receive prompt medical assistance directly at school.
Key points
Schools can receive funds to purchase nebulizers, devices that help with breathing during an asthma attack.
School staff must be trained, and a full-time nurse must be on staff to ensure safe and effective use of the equipment.
Parents will be informed about the availability of nebulizers and procedures for administering medication to their children.
Priority for grants will be given to schools in areas with high asthma prevalence and those without existing nebulizers.
