school personnel to provide skills-based HIV prevention education,
disseminate information about effective school health HIV prevention
education to local education agencies and other key stakeholders, and
establish and maintain collaborative relationships with personnel from state
and local agencies to ensure that effective HIV/STD prevention education is
provided for Missouri youth.
