These funds are intended to strengthen and maintain a strong and inclusive school health team by supporting school health program activities that foster healthy students who are in school and ready to learn. The funds will be used primarily to hire a contractor position to serve as a member of a school-based health team and collaborating with local school health programs to provide COVID-19 response, recovery, and resiliency support in schools. The contractor will contribute to strengthening school health as part of a local health system ready for the next public health challenge.
