For the fourth year, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) has released its annual report assessing all 50 states and the District of Columbia on their leadership and progress on school-based policies that address student asthma and allergy health in more than 100,000 elementary, middle and high schools across the U.S. The goal of this report is to identify state-level progress towards better school-based policies, and to provide a blueprint for asthma and allergy advocates nationwide. Does your state make the grade when it comes to school asthma & allergy policies? Full results, including an interactive map, detailed state profiles and charts, are available at www.StateHonorRoll.org For more information contact Liana Burns at liana@aafa.org or 202-466-7643 ext. 252
