Assembly Resolution No. 446

BY: M. of A. Bendett

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 May 7, 2025, as School Nurse Day in the State of New
 York

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
official days that are set aside to inform key audiences about the role
and value of school nurses in caring for our most precious resource, our
youth; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 7, 2025, as School
Nurse Day in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance
of National School Nurse Day; and

 WHEREAS, Since 1972, National School Nurse Day has been set aside to
recognize school nurses; and

 WHEREAS, National School Nurse Day was established to foster a
better understanding of the role of school nurses in the educational
setting; and

 WHEREAS, The New York State Association of School Nurses (NYSASN) is
the professional organization representing the specialty practice of
school nursing in New York State; NYSASN was founded in 1986 by a grass
roots group of school nurses who were dedicated in their vision to
enhance the practice of school nursing; and

 WHEREAS, Advocacy is a central tenet of the New York State
Association of School Nurses, providing a unified voice for its members;
and

 WHEREAS, The Advocacy Chairperson and committee diligently monitor
and provide guidance on legislative proposals that impact the scope and
practice of school nursing across New York State; and

 WHEREAS, Students are the future and, by investing in them today, we
are ensuring our world for tomorrow; and

 WHEREAS, Families deserve to feel confident that their children will
be cared for when they are at school; and

 WHEREAS, All students have a right to have their physical and mental
health needs safely met while in the school setting; and

 WHEREAS, The COVID-19 pandemic emphasized the essential role school
nurses play in student health and academic success; and

 WHEREAS, School nurses have served a critical role in improving
public health and in ensuring students' academic success for more than
100 years; and

 WHEREAS, School nurses act as a liaison to the school community,
families, and healthcare providers on behalf of children's health by
promoting wellness and improving health outcomes for our nation's
children; and

 WHEREAS, School nurses are members of school-based teams such as
school health services, 504/ IEP, and disaster/emergency planning to
address the school population; and

 WHEREAS, School nurses understand the link between health and
learning and are able to make a positive difference for children every
day; and

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to join the
National Association of School Nurses in celebrating and acknowledging
the accomplishments of school nurses everywhere and their efforts of
meeting the needs of today's students by improving the delivery of
health care in our schools, and offering gratitude for school nurses who
contribute to our local communities by helping students stay healthy, in
school, and ready to learn, and keeping parents and guardians at work,
not just on School Nurse Day, but at every opportunity throughout the
year; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 7, 2025, as School
Nurse Day in the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
