Hello [Representative/Senator Name],
I hope this email finds you well.
As a part of the organization “No Child Left Breathless” (NCLB), I am writing to you today to seek [Representative/Senator Name]’s support and collaboration on a critical piece of legislation. The bill addresses the urgent need to mandate the availability of respiratory distress medication in schools across Texas.
The core of the bill focuses on amending Section 38.208 of the Education Code to require all school districts, open-enrollment charter schools, and private schools to maintain and make available medication for respiratory distress at each campus. The bill also empowers authorized and trained school personnel and volunteers to administer this medication in emergencies.
The impetus behind this bill stems from the alarming rise in respiratory distress incidents among students, exacerbated by factors such as asthma, allergies, and environmental pollutants. The current lack of consistent access to life-saving medication in schools poses a significant risk to the health and well-being of our children. An astounding number of children have even died within the United States because of little access to these respiratory medication devices. In addition, current legislature states that schools must stock inhalers only “if” the school has the available funding. This tricky wording leaves students who attend schools which do not have “funding” without inhalers while other students in better-off schools will have inhalers. There is no reason lower-class students should receive unequal health measures compared to other students who live in more willing or wealthier districts. For this reason, this bill is absolutely necessary – all students should have the same health opportunities no matter their socioeconomic class.

I hope this bill appeals to you as it is imperative for the health of future generations. Thank you for your time and dedication to public service.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
