Ask Judi!This week's input comes from Rebecca: "The National Education Association
Health Information Network is launching a new website about asthma and
schools. We want to get the word out to school staff. Thank you."
Certainly Rebecca! http://www.asthmaandschools.org Asthma and Schools consolidates information about asthma-related
resources for school personnel working with grades K-12. The simple, searchable
database links to educational materials, medical information, websites,
and other resources useful for anyone who works in a school serving children
and youth. This site is made possible by the National
Education Association Health Information Network. Good Luck! Each week, I'll use this area to answer questions that have been streaming in from YOU! As the saying goes, "If you have a question or comment, chances are that others have it too!" So please write us at EduHoundWeekly@eduhound.com and watch for your answer here!
