Coordinated School Health

• Establish and maintain state and local partnerships necessary to implement the CSH model statewide.
• Create awareness about the importance of students’ health and wellness to their academic success.
• Maximize the ability of each school community to adopt and implement the CSH model by providing resources, materials and technical assistance to meet the needs of that school community.
• Promote a healthy school environment in all Tennessee school communities.
• Provide annual evaluation and needs assessment for monitoring CSH in each school community.

 Tennessee’s 90-minute physical activity law for elementary and secondary students states that: 

 “It shall be the duty of each LEA to implement 90 minutes of physical activity per week into the instructional day for elementary and secondary students.”
