As part of the California Workforce Development Board's High Road Training Project and in collaboration with the Teacher for Healthy Kids, California Teacher's Association, CSU's School Nurse Credentialing Programs, CSU Nursing programs and School Districts, CSNO applied for and was awarded a High Road School Nurse Residency Partnership Implementation Grant. This 2 year grant will assist 150 school nurses from economically challenged communities (50% Free and Reduced Lunch or greater) and financially assist them in obtaining their school nurse credential. The grant starts July 1, 2025 and ends June 30, 2027. You must have an MOU with CSNO to be considered for this funding. Individuals who district's pay for their credentialing program are ineligible to apply.

School Nurse Annual Data Collection
Dear School Nurses,
You are invited to participate in the inaugural CSNO Health Services Data Collection project. We hope you will take part!
Data Collection
The site linked above contains all necessary data collection worksheets and links to the actual online surveys. The information is brief, but important, so please read it carefully. Data from the 24-25 school year is being collected.
There are TWO surveys, each asking different questions about aspects of Health Services provision in your district. Depending on your current data collection process (which may be extensive or non-existent), this process might take 30-90 +/- minutes.
We understand that you are very busy and that this is asking a lot of you at the end of what was an already busy school year. But, please consider that this investment in time and effort will be worth it as it can help School Nurses in California better understand the current status of and needs in school health services, which can be used to inform the development of programs and access to resources. This data collection process will occur annually.
Please submit your data: Deadline: June 30th 2025
If you have any questions about this survey or the questions on the survey, contact Rachel McClanahan, DNP, RN, NCSN, CNE - CSNO School Nurse Educators Specialty Practice Committee Chair and Associate Professor and Coordinator, School Nurse Services Credential Program, California State University, Fullerton, at [email protected].
