It’s all in the data, writes Erin D. Maughan, PhD, RN, FAAN, who heads the new organization that’s reinventing school health to better serve all students. Maughan reports on how school nurses address inequities that show up in ways large and small, including student commutes, fees to cover sports, meals, and sanitary needs, and more, and the mental health needs of all.
