Description

The Oklahoma Standards for School Health, is a resource document for school and public health personnel. This publication is a collaboration of the Oklahoma State Department of Health, Maternal and Child Health Service, Child and Adolescent Health Division, School Health Program and the Department of Education, Comprehensive Health Education Program, with assistance from state-wide school districts and county health departments to ensure quality school health services within the State of Oklahoma.

The Oklahoma State Departments of Health and Education are vitally concerned with the health of
our children and youth and with the implementation of coordinated, comprehensive school health
programs. This manual provides a basis for the development of a model school health program or
the enrichment of an existing program, focusing on health services and school environment. Local
autonomy, the presence of professional personnel, and the availability of resources will influence
the way the following information is adopted for utilization. We urge your careful review and
consideration of the manual in establishing or enhancing a school health program to benefit the
children and youth of Oklahoma.
