Healthy kids learn better, school nurses make it happen!

Back to school time already! Make sure your child is really ready!

Of the 138,000 children in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS), 14,000 students are affected by asthma. Asthma contributes to school absences and can lead to serious health complications. To address this growing problem, CMS collaborated with the Mecklenburg County Health Department and founded the Asthma Education Program in 2003. CMS is now a recognized leader in asthma and indoor air quality management.
