    • Abstract:
      It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) to actively support and protect the right of all students, including those with healthcare needs or disabilities, to participate in school-sponsored trips, in accordance with federal regulations (U.S. Department of Education [USDOE]/Office for Civil Rights [OCR], 2020). The registered professional school nurse (hereinafter referred to as school nurse) has the expertise necessary to prepare, plan, educate, and coordinate with staff, families, students, and other healthcare professionals in arranging equitable, inclusive, and appropriate care for all students to be able to attend school-sponsored trips. This statement provides the background and rationale for NASN's position. [This Position Statement was initially adopted in June 2013 and revised in January 2024.]
