This already exists in state statute in California.

a page dedicated to providing information on school-based oral health programs. It will include external resources designed to assist professional providers, school boards and the public to establish and maintain such programs in a safe and ethical manner. Additionally, the ADA will approach national school agencies, including but not limited to the National School Boards Association, to discuss possible collaborations to promote materials pertaining to school-based oral health programs.
