Description: The purpose of this 5-year cooperative agreement is to protect and improve the health and well-being of school-age children and adolescents in underserved and disproportionately affected communities. Recipients will use the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model to: establish key partnerships to support school health programs; promote dissemination and implementation of CDC school health guidelines, tools, and resources through Professional Development (PD) and Technical Assistance (TA); and use action planning to implement physical activity, school nutrition, and school health policies, practices, programs, and services within state and local education agencies (LEAs), schools, and out-of-school time (OST) settings. Expected outcomes to be achieved include an (1) increase in the numbers of schools with an action plan based on the completion of CDC&#8217;s School Health Index (SHI); (2) increased implementation of Comprehensive School Physical Activity Programs (CSPAP); (3) increased school nutrition and food security policies and practices; (4) increased school-based health services that support students with chronic health conditions; and (5) increased physical activity, healthy dietary behaviors, and self-management of chronic health conditions among students.
