and reduce asthma episodes and absences among students with asthma.

policies and practices, including use of asthma management tools,
delivery of culturally appropriate instruction, and use of school and

- Developing and disseminating policies related to preventing and
reducing asthma episodes and absences.
- Identifying youth at greatest risk for asthma episodes and absences
and focusing efforts on implementing strategies to reduce their risk.
- Coordinating asthma management efforts with other school health
programs.

management programs.
