Schools play a critical role in addressing the physical, mental, social and environmental factors related to health and well-being that can affect learning. Adopting effective policies to tend to these factors helps position students for success in school and throughout their lifetimes. The CSH Coordinator, school board and superintendent must work together with school faculty, staff, families, community members and business partners to establish and support health promotion policies and plans that align with the district's vision and mission.
The Tennessee School Boards Association and the Tennessee Department of Education-Office of Coordinated School Health have partnered with the UnitedHealthcare, Tennessee Organization of School Superintendents, Tennessee Parent Teacher Association, Tennessee Chamber of Commerce, Tennessee Roundtable, Tennessee Education Association, Stand for Children and the State Collaborative on Reforming Education on an initiative designed to motivate Tennessee school board members, school administrators, faculty, staff, parents and students to create healthier school environments!
Tennessee's Healthier Schools Challenge Kick-off will occur during the Tennessee School Boards Association Annual Convention on Monday, November 14, 2011
