|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Young people represent the future of our state, and | ||
| providing for the diverse needs of students in Texas schools is | ||
| critically important to ensuring that they receive an optimal | ||
| education; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Families deserve the peace of mind of knowing that | ||
| their children are fully cared for when they are at school, and for | ||
| more than 120 years, school nurses have played a key role in | ||
| ensuring the physical and mental health of students at the campuses | ||
| they serve; and | ||
| WHEREAS, School nurses are nursing professionals who are | ||
| committed to the health, well-being, academic achievement, and | ||
| lifelong success of students; working as members of school-based | ||
| teams, they address the home and community factors that impact | ||
| students' health, and they serve as liaisons to the school | ||
| community, families, and health care providers in order to promote | ||
| better health and wellness outcomes; and | ||
| WHEREAS, By providing access to care during a critical time | ||
| in a child's development, school nurses help support a learning | ||
| environment where students are empowered to reach their full | ||
| academic potential, and the observance of School Nurse Day on | ||
| May 10, 2023, serves as a fitting opportunity to acknowledge their | ||
| contributions to our state and nation; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby recognize May 10, 2023, as School Nurse Day and | ||
| extend sincere appreciation to the Texas School Nurses Organization | ||
| for its work to strengthen the practice of school nursing for the | ||
| benefit of schoolchildren throughout the state. | ||
