  School Health Resources for Educators  
  The CSHC website now includes a section for educators, including teachers, principals, school board members, and others working in the field of education. Here, educators can find useful information on the connection between health and learning, as well as on the different types of school health services. Educators can also find tips on how to start and fund school health services--and how to maximize the impact of school health services on student learning and academic success.  
     
  Federal Funds for SBHC Equipment, Construction, and Renovation  
 

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) will reissue a federal grant program for SBHCs in September 2010. The new funding opportunity will make $100 million in grants available nationally and will likely fund SBHC equipment, construction and renovation.  The deadline to apply and new grant guidance have not been released yet.

  School Health Advocates Make 125 Federal Legislative Visits on
Advocacy Day
 
 

More than 300 school health center advocates and youth joined the National Assembly on School-Based Health Care (NASBHC) in Washington D.C. to advance federal SBHC policies in health care and education reform.

A rally on June 17 kicked-off the morning with Congressional champions – Sen. Jeff Merkley (OR) and Reps. Lois Capps (CA), John Dingell (MI), Chris Murphy (CT), and John Sarbanes (MD) – who fired up the crowd for a great day of legislative visits on Capitol Hill. Participants spent the remainder of the day visiting their state's members of Congress. CSHC staff members and youth board members visited 20 California legislators, and other advocates from around the country made an additional 105 visits. See photos from the rally. Watch videos from Advocacy Day. (California's Rep. Lois Capps is on video Part II, 7:40). Read more.
