It is the goal of Coordinated School Health to connect health with learning to improve the health and learning of children through the support of families, communities and schools working together. CSH is a national model, developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1988, consisting of eight major components. The eight components are: health education, health services, counseling, psychological and social services, nutrition, physical education/physical activity, school staff wellness, healthy school environment and student/parent/community involvement. These 8 components work together to improve the lives of our students and their families. The Coordinated School Health Improvement Act of 2000, TCA 49-1-1002, authorized funding for CSH in ten pilot sites in the state of TN. In 2006, authority and funding to expand CSH statewide was established based on results from the ten pilot sites. Athens City Schools Coordinated School Health Program was formed in October 2007 |
