In connection with the American School Health Association’s cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of Adolescent and School Health to support leadership and governance for coordinated school health programs, ASHA is seeking 3 school districts (one rural, one urban, one suburban) to help us field test a needs assessment instrument and participate in efforts to build the capacity of school districts and their community partners to improve health program coordination.  

Each selected district will be expected to assemble a five person team that can participate (at no cost to the district) in a 3 day training event in early August 2008 and commit to working with ASHA for up to three years to strengthen coordination of their health-related programs and services. At least one member of the team must be a member of the American School Health Association.
