AASA's Program in Action

AASA is funded to provide Capacity-Building Assistance for Preventing Chronic Disease: Reducing the Burden of Asthma.

  • Collaborating with the National School Boards Association (NSBA) to continue the work of the Leadership Forum for Healthy Students and Healthy Schools –a group composed of state school administrators associations, state school boards associations, and other key stakeholders in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana, and Wisconsin—to make school leaders aware of the burden of asthma in schools and to make positive changes for students with asthma at the local level
     
  • Providing professional development through presentations and materials dissemination for school leaders and local school board members at professional conferences, meetings, and exhibits.
     
  • Collecting success stories about changes in asthma management practices at the local level via the AASA and NSBA Web sites.
     
  • Working to better understand the link between school leaders, parents, and the community with key assistance from the National Parent Teacher Association and the National Collaboration.
     
  • Disseminating a Web-based communication kit, which includes templates for letters to the media, parents, and the community; sample state and local policies; success stories; and links to Internet resources on addressing asthma among youth.
