Nutrition is the major factor in today's upcoming era. Without question, all schools are grappling with logistical and financial challenges. However, urban districts, which serve more low income, English language learner, and/or Black and Latinx students and have lower per pupil funding relative to suburban districts, face unique challenges that could exacerbate health inequities. Lower funding means low quality of fruits and vegetables and cheap meals with little to no nutrition. One of the school nurse's roles is encouraging healthy eating and increasing the availability of fruits and vegetables in the school.
