Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to sign this petition. Between our emails, our signatures and spreading the word so quickly - our Board of Commissions voted unanimously today to amend our budget and fund our school nurses effective immediately! This issue caused job loss, upheaval, chaos and stress for so many and we hope to get back to a place of safety and wellbeing for all schools and their families. We could not have gotten this incredibly fast result without all of you! I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Here’s to using our voice to help those who may not be able to help themselves - there is plenty more work to do! Sincerely, Jessica https://www.whqr.org/local/2025-08-28/after-public-pushback-nhc-commissioners-restore-funding-for-additional-school-nurses https://www.nhcgov.com/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=958 https://www.wect.com/2025/08/28/new-hanover-county-commissioners-vote-fully-fund-school-nurses/
