More Nurses in Schools: Supporting Student Health

This act aims to ensure every elementary and secondary school in the U.S. has at least one full-time nurse. This will improve student health, reduce absences, and ease the burden on teachers. The program provides grants to schools for hiring and retaining nurses.
Key points
Every elementary and secondary school should have at least one full-time registered nurse.
Schools can receive grants to hire, retain, and convert part-time nurse positions to full-time.
Priority for grants will be given to high-need schools and those recruiting from underrepresented populations in public health.
The goal is to improve student health outcomes, including better management of chronic conditions and increased immunization rates.
