Fulton County Schools staffer named Georgia School Nurse of the Year

A Fulton County Schools’ staffer with two decades of service has been honored as the state’s top registered nurse working in schools.

TracyLynn Wagner received the recognition earlier this month from the Georgia Association of School Nurses. She currently oversees clinics at five Alpharetta-area schools.

“Ms. Wagner understands the link between academic success and the health status of students,” said Lynne Meadows, the district’s health services director, in a written statement.

Wagner also serves on the district’s immunization task force, coordinates mandatory student health screenings and manages student health data.

When the COVID-19 pandemic began, she created guidelines for the use of isolation rooms by those who had COVID symptoms.
