Funded Partners: State, Territorial, and Local Agencies and
Tribal Governments
Coordinated School Health Programs
(CSHPs)
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.
