My name is ….., I am an MSN Student at Chamberlain University and a Registered Nurse with
Fayette County Public Schools. I currently teach Pre-nursing through SouthSide Technical
Center in the High Schools of the Fayette District.
Concern/Solution
I am writing this today about my health care policy concern, the prevention of teen pregnancy in
our high schools. My proposed solution to this growing issue is to implement comprehensive
school-based clinics that offer direct and immediate student access to reproductive health
education and contraception.
In the uploaded video, you will find my presentation to my elected official, Mr. James
McMillian, Chief of High schools for Fayette County. I made known the vital role that these
clinics and our school nurses would play in educating our student population on safe
reproductive health practices, preventative contraceptive medications and emergency
medications that could be available in our school clinics to prevent unwanted teen pregnancies
for our students. I discussed how school nurses are considered like family to our student
population, and that many life-long bonds are made between students and nurses in the school
system. Many of the students feel more comfortable and at ease speaking openly with their
school nurses than they do their own parents, this fact alone is evidence enough that students
would be more willing to seek out preventative reproductive education for their own health
concerns, if these clinics were made available in all high schools.
In communicating with my elected official in the attached video, I followed guidelines from our
text, “Policy and Politics in Nursing and Healthcare” (Mason, Gardner, Outlaw & O’Grady,
