THE ISSUE Academic success is an example of a child’s overall well-being. It also is an accurate predictor of future adult health outcomes. In our society school systems are not attempting to develop, combine or revise school health programs as a critical part of educational development. Health and well-being are currently not being linked with education and learning. FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY FOR HPA 432 ONLINE UIC SPH

BACKGROUND INFO ▪95% of youths aged 5-17 attend school in the United States. ▪It’s the one venue that has the widest reach to our adolescents. ▪There is a critical link between a child’s health and the adults they later become. ▪All children regardless of the school they attend, neighborhood they live in or environments they are exposed to should be given the same opportunities and resources to allow positive outcomes. ▪The same message should be delivered in school, by their parents, by the community members, etc. ▪By creating a coordinated framework it will emphasize the message we are all trying to deliver. ~ Health Education ~ Physical Education ~ Health Services ~ Nutrition Services, ~ Counseling, Psychological, and Social Services ~ Healthy and Safe School Environment ~ Health Promotion for Staff ~ Family/Community Involvement FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY FOR HPA 432 ONLINE UIC SPH

BENEFIT EXAMPLES Examples of positive benefits due to implementing a coordinated school health framework include the reduction of tobacco use, unhealthy eating, and inadequate physical activity that could lead to long term serious health conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Another example would be early detection of mental illness and establishing the support needed to effectively address it. FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY FOR HPA 432 ONLINE UIC SPH

PROPOSED POLICY It is necessary to develop and implement a framework that Chicago Public Schools can benefit from in addition to those already provided by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. This will ensure that the financial input from this current Act can have the greatest output possible. Providing funding without assisting these schools as to how they can develop their programs is inefficient and irresponsible. Statistics have proven that there are benefits gained by following a coordinated school health framework. So in order for schools to receive funding from this act, it’s necessary to have these additions go hand in hand with guidelines to ensure greatness.
