Why implement a coordinated approach to school health?
Based on the relationship between student health and academic achievement it is crucial that schools address the health needs of students. Schools are providing many of these services, however through the coordinated approach staff will be able to better meet the needs of students. Through the coordinated approach districts can maximize resources, avoid duplication of efforts, and provide constant and continuous health information to students. This approach is also relies heavily on parental/community involvement and supports the direct involvement of each.
