Tiered programming

The purpose of the National School Health Data Set: Every Student Counts! data initiative is to allow school nurses and states to begin at different levels.  Some school nurses have collected and used data for some time; others have not.  A tiered approach allows school nurses and states to begin where they are.  Checklists for school nurses, state data coordinators and affiliate leaders have been developed to help guide each group.

Select the links below to obtain specific guidance for each group.
