Annotation: This document describes a project to collect and report population-level data to support the health of school-aged children and the impact of school nursing. Topics include data points; the process of developing a uniform data set, and data use. Step Up & Be Counted! was a 3-year data initiative (2014-2016) that was a joint venture between NASN and the National Association of State School Nurse consultants. The National Uniform School Nurse Data Set was created with 15 data elements, and data was collected from 39 states, some with 1 school district reporting and other states with 100% of the schools reporting data into a national data portal. It has been succeeded by a new initiative called "National School Health Data Set: Every Student Counts!".

Annotation: This report describes a three-year Tennessee project that took place between April 1, 2000 and March 30, 2003, to provide education and training for educators, families, and health professionals who support students with traumatic brain injuries. The report discusses improving the knowledge of school personnel to provide optimal educational outcomes (1) in 15 counties serving children with traumatic brain injuries, (2) by correctly identifying children to receive services through the school system, and increasing the early identification of children by providing technical assistance to hospital personnel to ensure that children enter the school system with the correct diagnosis. Report contents include descriptions of the purpose of the project, goals and objectives, methodology, evaluation, and results and outcomes. Additional sections list publications and products, dissemination and utilization of results, future plans and follow-up, and type and amount of support and resources needed to replicate the project.

Annotation: This tool is designed to help school-based health centers (SBHCs) detect and address significant health problems and health risks in school-age children and adolescents. It identifies core measures of quality in SBHCs (defined as "sentinel conditions") for each of three school-age groups: elementary, middle, and high school. For each condition, the tool also identifies references that support inclusion of the condition, the minimum requirements needed to provide clinical services related to the condition, data to be collected from the medical record in order to evaluate the quality of care for the condition, and the marker (score) assigned to the data gathered from the medical record review. Data collection forms for each age group are also available from the website.

Annotation: This is a report of an investigation of leadership concerns that arose in the rapidly developed community of Levittown, New York during the 1950s. The problems centered around the sudden growth of the school system--with student registration increasing from 40 to 18,575 between 1948 and 1960; the lack of experience of the citizens in the newly created community; and differences in philosophy of education and religious affiliations. Controversy centered around a recorded cantata called "The Lonesome Train" that was played in the lower elementary grades, despite allegedly having been written and scored by "known communists." Another event that contributed to community outrage was a letter written to parents by an elementary school principal that was perceived as a violation of the Constitutional separation of church and state. This report, prepared by a Special Committee appointed by the National Education Association and the NY State Teachers Association, provides background information, findings from its investigation, an analysis, and recommendations to help resolve the community conflicts.
