Coordinated School Health
Funding and support provided by the Tennessee Department of Education Coordinated School Health Improvement Act TCA 49-1-1002. Schools are the common destination for most of Tennessee's youth each weekday. In Tipton County, we currently have 14 schools with over 10,500 students and over 1,000 staff members. Our Students today need to know how to preserve and promote their own health by developing lifelong healthy habits. The No Child Left Behind Act advocates for focusing on the child as a whole; including social skills, physical health, nutrition, and safety. Coordinated School Health (CSH) provides recommends that the overall school environment is coordinated within and between the school, home, and community to address health-related concerns and accomplish shared goals.
