H.R. No. 1592
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Young people represent the future of our state, and
providing for the diverse needs of students in Texas schools is
critically important to ensuring that they receive an optimal
education; and
WHEREAS, Families deserve the peace of mind of knowing that
their children are fully cared for when they are at school, and for
more than 120 years, school nurses have played a key role in
ensuring the physical and mental health of students at the campuses
they serve; and
WHEREAS, School nurses are nursing professionals who are
committed to the health, well-being, academic achievement, and
lifelong success of students; working as members of school-based
teams, they address the home and community factors that impact
students' health, and they serve as liaisons to the school
community, families, and health care providers in order to promote
better health and wellness outcomes; and
WHEREAS, By providing access to care during a critical time
in a child's development, school nurses help support a learning
environment where students are empowered to reach their full
academic potential, and the observance of School Nurse Day on
May 10, 2023, serves as a fitting opportunity to acknowledge their
contributions to our state and nation; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize May 10, 2023, as School Nurse Day and
extend sincere appreciation to the Texas School Nurses Organization
for its work to strengthen the practice of school nursing for the
benefit of schoolchildren throughout the state.
