“We know that healthy students are better learners who are more likely to thrive in school and in life.” In communities across the country, educators, health care providers & families are working each day to help children grow into healthy and well‐ educated adults. They cannot do this alone. This work depends on strong & sustainable partnerships & commitments between local, state, and federal health & education agencies.”

“Gives schools choice yet keeps in mind the wellness

• f our students.”

“… provide to schools menu of services … standardized means to implement the partnerships through formalized MOAs, consent forms, information to parents and students and support in getting started.”

“ …step in the right direction…would prefer to see a bolder statement, with attached funding, requiring vision, hearing, dental, and other types of screenings at assigned check points along a student's K‐12 journey.”

“ … I don't believe the policy as written would be actionable by the Department when many of the terms are not defined and it is unclear as to which schools would have to implement.”

…Nurses should be present on every campus to support all students, but particularly for students who are medically fragile … “Health centers should be comprehensive & partner with Health Academies on HS campuses and schools with high free and reduced lunch eligibility rates.”

Avoid Mandates Identify Resources Improve Communication & Collaboration

(1) Require the DOE to work with government agencies to create a framework for coordinated school health. (2) Allow each school to utilize that framework to best serve the unique needs of their school community.

FRAMEWORK

• MOU
• School Health Index
• Data Sharing
• HIPAA/FERPA
• Consent Forms

DATABASE

• Hawaii Pacific Health
• Lions Club
• American Heart

Association

• Project Vision

The Department of Education shall support partnerships at schools to provide health services to students. To that end, the Department of Education shall work with other state agencies and community partners to:

• Define a menu of coordinated school health services that facilitates efficacy in

the continuum of supports provided to all students;

• Support the use of culturally responsive, evidence based school health

services and practices; and

• Facilitate ongoing dialogue to enhance coordinated school health services.

Schools may partner with relevant government agencies and community organizations to support the provision of coordinated school health services whenever mutually agreeable to benefit students. Based on school community needs and available resources, school may implement a range of services including but not limited to primary and preventive health care; dental, vision, and hearing screenings and services; school counseling, school based behavioral health, mental health, social services, school nutrition, health literacy education, physical education, a healthy school environment, and staff health and wellness.

Rationale: Schools play a critical role in promoting the health and safety of young people and helping them establish lifelong healthy behavior patterns. Research shows a link between the health

• utcomes of young people and their academic
• success. To have the most positive impact on the

health outcomes of young people, government agencies, community organizations, schools, and

• ther community members must work together on

a comprehensive approach.
