Community project funding/congressionally directed spending - construction - address: 959 west dundee road, wheeling, illinois 60090-3986 project director: micheal debartolo, assistant superintendent of business services and operations contact phone number: (847) 520-2707 FAX number: (847) 520-2710 website: CCSD21.ORG CCSD21 (illinois congressional district 10) is a highly diverse school district (serving wheelling, buffalo grove, arlington heights, mount prospect, prospect heights and northbrook) with an average percent of low income students/families being 46%. We are requesting funding for the design and equipping of a school based health clinic housed on the ground level in the district 21 service center and adminisrative office. IT is our vision that this clinic will serve CCSD21 students and families, staff and community members. A school based health clinic will bring direct services to the communities we serve, and will concentrate on the reduction of health inequalities with a focus on the minority and low income population as well as CCSD21 students and families, staff and the community. In addition to a medical clinic, there will also be mental health services, special education services and social services. Good health is a critical factor in setting up students up for success inside and outside of the classroom. Healthy students learn better because their physical, emotional and mental well being are balanced. Currently, there are no elementary level (K-8) school based health clinics in the northwest suburbs of chicago, illinois.
