Community members react to Highlands parent Jenny Beamish's statement at the Edina Public Schools: School Board Organizational Meeting on Feb. 12, 2024. Beamish's statement called attention to the importance of full-time school nurses to maintain the wellbeing of children with chronic health issues. As a parent of an elementary with type one diabetes, she is in contact with the Highlands nursing staff multiple times per day. "Any reduction in school staff within the health department would render our current support model unsustainable," said Beamish.
