Abstract

Background:

1) The traditional funding for school nursing has been educational dollars.

2) As school district budgets tighten, the number of students with health needs continues to rise and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) puts increased emphasis on community care, new school health delivery models are emerging.

3) There is limited study in this area. Anecdotal stories of wide variability exist.
