School Nurse Shortage

[cristylat]

Hi All,

I am currently working for Children's Pressline, which is a youth journalism program based out of New York City and which publishes through Amsterdam News and Scripps Howard. Our reporters (ages 8-13) are currently working on an article discussing the issue and consequences of the school nurse shortage across the US. I was wondering if anyone knew of parents and children I could get in contact with, and possibly set-up interviews with, who have been personally affected by the school nurse shortage and who would be willing to share their story with our reporters. Our interviews are mainly conducted over the telephone. Please let me know if anyone can help me in any which way!!

Thank you,

Cristy
