In 2000, Washington County Department of Education was privileged to be one of ten school systems to pilot the Coordinated School Health program. The goal of the program is to eliminate health-related barriers to learning in a holistic manner so that teachers can teach and students can learn.
Efforts to meet the needs of students are addressed in an eight component model. Each component addresses a particular aspect of the coordinated approach. The components are:
-Health Education
-Physical Education/Physical Activity
-Health Promotion for Staff
-Counseling and Psychological Services
-Health Services
-Healthy School Environment
-Nutrition Services
-Student/Parent/Community Involvement.
By definition, all Coordinated School Health components work together to improve students' health and their capacity to learn through support of families, communities and schools working together.
