It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) that data on children's deaths in school should be recorded, analyzed and reported at the local, state and national levels. The systematic review of data on child mortality is necessary to drive interventions and policies that will decrease mortality from injuries, violence, acute illness and chronic disease in the school setting. Just as there are federal laws to monitor deaths in the workplace, there needs to be a parallel federal system for child deaths at school. Registered professional school nurses should accept opportunities to serve on state and national child fatality review committees to provide input into policies that protect children at school and in the community.
