CDC provides funding for state and territorial education agencies and tribal governments to help school districts and schools implement a Coordinated School Health Program (CSHP), and, through this approach, increase effectiveness of policies, programs, and practices to promote physical activity, nutrition, and tobacco-use prevention (PANT) among students.
A CSHP is a planned, organized set of health-related programs, policies, and services coordinated to meet the health and safety needs of K-12 students at both the school district and individual school building levels. It is comprised of multiple components that can influence health and learning, which include health education; physical education; health services; nutrition services; counseling and psychological services; a healthy school environment; family/community involvement; and health promotion for staff.
