Position Statement. Revised. http://www.nasn.org/positions/2005psbioterrorism.pdf (National Association of School Nurses. , Jun 2005) It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses that school nurses should be designated and recognized as first responders to mass casualty emergencies, including those resulting from bioterrorist events. School nurses should be trained in protection, detection, and treatment of victims of such events and in the command and control management techniques of the logistics of such a situation. The strategic position of well-prepared nurses within the school environment has significant potential for minimizing the effects of a bioterrorist attack in school settings and, subsequently, in the community at large 3p.

Governor Romney’s Administration has set forth a clear vision for the Commonwealth’s workforce development system. All Massachusetts residents will have the competencies, employment skills, and education to support themselves and their families and to live a quality life.

The Department of Workforce Development (DWD) is the state level agency responsible for the oversight of the workforce investment funding received through the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration. The Division of Career Services and the Commonwealth Corporation are designated by DWD to implement specific initiatives related to the workforce development system. Since the inception of the federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA) in 1998, Massachusetts has adopted a statewide strategy to maximize and leverage workforce development resources through our local Workforce Investment Boards and One-Stop Career Centers. In Massachusetts, the One-Stop Career Center system is the cornerstone of service delivery for job development and job search assistance, training referrals and placements, and employer outreach on workforce development services.
