Advocacy: This program aims to influence public policy and resource decisions within political, economic and social systems. Approaching policy makers, including legislators, we address issues relative to the expansion of school health care and quality of that care, as well as policy agenda items. All advocacy is non-partisan and unrelated to any campaigns for office. Advocacy includes social media campaigns, public speaking and community organizing around a central issue. Social media, electronic newsletters, action alerts and our website are all important in communication with our members, champions, stakeholders and grassroots advisors who message to a variety of audiences. Advocacy accomplishments this year:Our House Bill 3165 passed, appropriating close to $1 million in funding for school districts to conduct a supported school assessment and planning process, with ongoing funding support.School Health Advocacy Day included over 100 participants who had 27 meetings with legislators to advocate for school health.
