In 2023, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) began the process of updating the State Honor Roll for Asthma and Allergy Policies in Schools.
In 2024, AAFA convened 19 expert stakeholders to advise on updating the policy standards for the 2025 report. These experts contributed valuable insights through roundtable discussions, helping to ensure the standards reflect current best practices and needs of K-12 students with asthma, food allergies, anaphylaxis and related diseases.
AAFA also contracted with Seed 2 Roots, and began working with legal researcher Natasha Frost, a lawyer who has completed several 50-state reviews on a variety of topics.
Led by Legal Researcher Natasha Frost (Legal Researcher) and Subject Matter Expert Jenna Riemenschneider (Subject Matter Expert) AAFA conducted the 2025 State Honor Roll research. (author introduction)
