Coordinated School Health Programs:

 

Training, Technical Assistance, and Resources


Coordinated School Health (CSH) programs are alive and thriving in Colorado! Both the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) provide funding to Colorado school districts to implement CSH programs at the district and building level. RMC’s K-12 Tobacco Prevention Initiative supports the delivery of tobacco education, prevention and cessation programs through CSH teams. Kaiser Permanente supports CSH at the building level through its “Thriving Communities” Initiative. To date there are at least 85 active building-level CSH teams in Colorado.

Through a CDC Infrastructure grant, the Colorado Department of Education provides funding to five CSH pilot school districts:

  • Durango 9-R
  • East Grand 2
  • Platte Valley RE-7
  • Summit RE-1
  • West Grand 1-JT

Through the Steps to a Healthier US program, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment provided funding to school districts in four Colorado Counties:

  • Mesa
  • Pueblo
  • Teller
  • Weld

Yet, this is just the tip of the iceberg. At the state level, resources have been pooled to provide additional funding for new CSH teams. Since 2006, 48 school-level grants have been awarded for planning or implementation of CSH programs. Funding for this combined effort comes from:

    • RMC – K-12 Tobacco Prevention Initiative
    • RMC – Unrestricted funds
    • The Colorado Department of Education
    • The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) – State Tobacco Education and Prevention Partnership
    • CDPHE – Colorado Physical Activity and Nutrition Program (COPAN)
    • CDPHE – Maternal and Child Health
    • Kaiser Permanente
