Coordinated School Health Programs

The intent is for the state health and education agencies to collaboratively focus efforts on developing the infrastructure within each agency that can effectively promote coordinated school health education programs. The priorities of the program are to: (a) provide support for Montana schools and to improve the capability of schools to provide effective, appropriate and culturally relevant school health education programs to students, and (b) to implement an organizational structure with the state education agency and the state health agency that will provide leadership and coordination for school health education programs that are designed to prevent health risk behaviors and health problems.
