School Health
Schools, school nurses and local communities are important partners for improving health outcomes for Vermont’s school-aged children.
We value opportunities to collaborate with school personnel and statewide education leadership – and we are committed to strengthening relationships with schools, and assisting communities with these efforts.
We promote the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention and ASCD’s, Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model. This model can be used by school and community partners to improve population health and academic achievement outcomes. Working closely with the Agency of Education, we recommend using the WSCC model to reach the goals outlined in school continuous improvement plans and wellness policies – and integrating it into a multi-tiered system of supports.
