The Board
of Education believes that health education should foster the knowledge, skills, and
behaviors that students need in order to lead healthy, productive lives. The
district’s health education program shall teach personal responsibility for
one’s own lifelong health, respect for and promotion of the health of
others, the process of growth and development, and informed use of
health-related information, products, and services.
The district shall provide a planned, sequential,
research-based, and age-appropriate health education curriculum for students
in grades K-12. The goals for comprehensive health education shall include,
but not be limited to, goals for staff and student wellness, for nutrition
education and for physical activity and fitness.
The Board intends for health education to be part of a
coordinated school health system that links district, school, and community
programs and services to promote the health and well-being of students.
