WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- For over 7 million children with asthma, and 13 million with food allergy or other severe allergies, going to school is a daily risk affecting how well they can – or can't – manage their diseases.  Now for the fourth year, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) has released its annual report assessing all 50 states and the District of Columbia on their leadership and progress on school-based policies that address student asthma and allergy health in more than 100,000 elementary, middle and high schools across the U.S. 


The result: most states still don't make the grade.




Refers to latest info state-by-state from AAFA:

Resistance isn't futile.  It's voltage divided by current.

I really like this eval tool.  Of course, it doesn't guarantee that a given school or district doesn't do more or less than their state mandates, but it's a great list of criteria for parents to use.   :thumbsup:
