This is a report of the outcomes of an invitational meeting convened in 1996 by the Division of Adolescent and School Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (DASH/CDC) and the National Center for School Health Nursing, American Nurses Association. Participants reviewed progress made on seven critical needs identified in 1994 at the School Health Nursing Services: Exploring National Issues conference. Priority actions were updated, consensus was reached for specific strategies to move towards achievement of goals and organizations and agencies were suggested to assume leadership. Participants and current membership of the National Nursing Coalition for School Health are listed as well as examples of related activities occurring in the interim. Collaborative partnerships are encouraged to assist school nurses in meeting the school‐related health needs of all students.
