Asthma-how does it impact academic achievement and school budgets?
There are many more students with asthma attending public schools than previously known and documented. The challenge to identify and educate students remains largely with local school districts. A student's academic success is impacted by thorough planning and provision for the student's needs. Collecting and measuring asthma-related absence data can help drive program planning and impact school budgets.
