An annual report gives Iowa good — but not glowing — scores for the state’s policies that impact children with asthma and allergies. Larissa Kaczaniuk advocacy and outreach manager for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, says they study 23 core standards and any states that match 18 of those standards are put on the Honor Roll. This year, Iowa checked off 16 categories.

While Iowa wasn’t among the 14 states on the Honor Roll this year, she says Iowa’s still doing well in providing a healthy and safe learning environment for children with asthma or allergies.

There’s always room for improvement, she notes, as none of the states had a perfect score.
