This is the second in a series of articles looking at school health data collection from identification of data points to utilizing data to share your story and submit your data to contribute to the National School Health Data Set: Every Student Counts! This article focuses on using data to share your story. Data storytelling versus data visualization will be discussed as well as HOW schools nurses can utilize easy access programs to support this process. Building on the first article in the series, the school nurse will not only identify the WHY and WHAT related to data collection but also HOW to link school health data to educational data to increase the audience of the story and follow data sharing regulations.

Membership as a Fellow in the National Academy of School Nursing (FNASN) is the NASN's highest recognition award. At the 2023 NASN Conference, five new Fellows were inducted and now add FNASN to their credentials. This group of exemplary school nurse professionals contributes to school nursing practice in many ways that crisscross NASN's Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice™. They each have chosen unique pathways to provide service. The 2023 NASN Fellows are: Eileen Gavin, New Jersey; Jenny Gormley, Massachusetts; Lynne Meadows, Georgia; Kathy Reiner, Colorado; and Sharonlee Trefry, Vermont. The following article outlines each Fellow's unique path to attaining FNASN.

NASN, with generous funding from Kaiser Permanente (KP) and partnered with the Institute for Educational Leadership, developed and implemented the Champions for School Health (CSH) grant initiative. The CSH initiative awarded 54 Implementation Grants in two funding cycles in 2022, funding school districts and community-based organizations (CBOs) to increase access to the pediatric COVID-19 vaccine as well as school-required immunizations and to increase vaccine confidence among underserved populations in KP's footprint: California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Oregon, Virginia, Washington, and the District of Columbia. These grantees administered a total of 17,630 COVID-19 vaccines to individuals ages 5 or older and 34,025 routine immunizations, of which 8,233 school-required vaccinations went to children of ages 5-11 years. Over 851,000 people were reached by vaccine education events in all nine KP markets. A notable takeaway from the project's results was the new partnerships created and the continuation of existing partnerships by the grantees. NASN's implementation of the CSH initiative and results provides a model and a source of critical data on how school health services and community-based organizations can partner to provide hyper-local responses to community/public health crises. This Part 2 article provides an overview of the key results of the project.

Social media usage is ubiquitous among adolescents. Although social media may appeal to adolescents due to the ability to connect with peers and develop relationships, many teens also report feelings of exclusion or victimization associated with their social media use. High usage of social media may act as a forum for negative behaviors and psychological detriments. Awareness and understanding of how social media affects adolescents' psychological well-being will help parents and school staff better support teenagers and develop programs to improve coping skills and self-regulation of social media for adolescents.

A system-level health equity lens is needed to meet the needs of today's students. School nurses stand at the intersection of health and education, poised to improve the health and academic outcomes for all children in collaboration with school health and education colleagues with a focus to reframe "learning and health losses" to "learning and health recovery." The Multi-Tiered System of Support is a familiar approach used in schools to address education equity for students. Working alongside educators, school nurses can demonstrate how including health in this framework augments reaching the goal of supporting student academic success.

This article is part of a series of articles titled "Legal Issues 101." The purpose of this series is to address common questions and misconceptions regarding the law and school health. Nurses frequently conflate malpractice or negligence with professional licensure discipline and it is important to understand the difference. To reduce liability exposure, school nurses must understand what their risks are and what they are not, for both civil lawsuits and for nursing board discipline.

Skin infections in high school athletes pose a risk of transmission to other student athletes. Therefore, it is important to promptly identify possible skin infections and refer them to the healthcare provider for treatment so athletes can return to play quickly and with little interruption to the team. Common skin infections include bacterial infections such as Streptococcus and Staphylococcus, viral infections such as herpes simplex and molluscum contagiosum, and fungal infections such as tinea corporis and capitis. The National Federation of State High School Associations provides guidance for the prevention of skin infections as well as return to play guidelines. The school nurse and high school athletic trainer are both healthcare professionals who play a role in preventing, identifying, monitoring, and caring for student athletes who contract skin infections.
