AAFA's 2011 State Honor Roll of Asthma and Allergy School Policies
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
Each year, the Foundation's report, the “State Honor Roll™ of Asthma and Allergy Policies
for Schools,” outlines 18 school-related core policies proven to affect positive healthy school
environments, then assesses each state on how many of these policies they have adopted.
If a state has enacted at least 15 of the policies, it is listed on the Foundation’s “Honor Roll.”
While thousands of local schools and districts may show innovation and leadership in
support of students and staff with asthma and allergies, strong state-wide policies are
lacking throughout the U.S., with some rare bright spots. Visit www.StateHonorRoll.org today to
find out how your state compares!
