Summary
District officials honored school nurses for National School Nurse Day and reported Healthy Schools survey results: 223 schools participated, with 138 Gold, 66 Silver and 19 Bronze designations — up from 203 participating last year.
Dr. Maria Russ, supervisor of School Health Services, recognized school nurses on National School Nurse Day, noting that more than half of students have chronic medical conditions and thanking nurses for their daily work supporting students.
Shaney Hall and Member Lynn Gray presented results from the district’s Hillsborough Healthy Schools survey, reporting participation by 223 traditional and nontraditional school sites (an increase from 203 the prior year). Gray said the survey produced 138 Gold, 66 Silver and 19 Bronze designations and described increases in participation among several school types. "Our annual Hillsborough Healthy School survey has been completed by more than 90% of all of our schools," Gray said.
The recognitions were ceremonial; no board votes or policy changes were recorded in relation to the awards.
