data needed to advocate position

With cut backs and declining enrollment, my district has hinted the number of students will be the only factor that will be considered to determine the number of nurses needed throughout the district. I am compiling information that will support advocacy for our positions. I am hopeful that other factors are considered before they start slashing.

Does anyone have any information on peer-reviewed, current studies that support the school nurse's role in the educational process? Also does anyone know of a template so I can compile the information in a meaningful way for a school board to read (ex. return to classroom #, referral return, # of free glasses, ...)? We have data from years back so any suggestions will be helpful.
