Advocacy

Advocacy plays an integral role in our mission.  It’s important to stay informed on issues affecting school wellness and also taking the opportunity to educate those around us on important topics.

Health Education Standards

State education standards provide a definition of quality for local schools. By establishing a minimum level of education, Ohio can be confident that all students are receiving basic information, while still giving schools options for greater achievement.

Just the facts:

  • Ohio is only one of two states without state standards (Utah is the other state)
  • Sets quality standards for the state, while still maintaining local options
  • Will increase personal responsibility by providing a quality health education as the framework
  • Help prepare a healthy Ohio workforce for tomorrow and decrease state and business healthcare costs
