A Coordinated School Health Program is a proven and effective approach designed to increase and protect the health of students, staff, and families by maximizing resources and the expertise of all stakeholders. This approach highlights prevention via education and collaboration, to support student health and academic success. All involved work togeth-er to reduce barriers to health and academic learning within a School Administrative Unit (SAU).

The presence of a School Health Coordinator working with a School Health Leadership Team and Advisory Council is essential when developing a successful Coordinated School Health Program. The shared efforts of all involved move the school system forward by promoting synergy that results in positive actions and outcomes.

Coordinated School Health Focus Sheets

The intent of these coordinated sheets is to share the possibilities that exist to create a collaborative and systemic approach to health promotion, prevention, and management in Maine’s schools resulting in positive and sustain-able health-enhancing policies and practices.

The center of each coordinated sheet identifies a health area focus. Surrounding the health area focus are the eight interrelated components of Coordinated School Health listed below. Each component contributes to the promotion, prevention, or management of the designated health area focus. Sample strategies are listed for each component. A blank form is included in this booklet to allow SAUs to add additional strategies for existing coor-dinated sheets or generate other focus sheets specific to individual SAU needs.
