Public Review to Begin August 15, 2001
www.nationalguidelines.org

Educators have identified poor health and psychological and social
problems
as causes of underachievement.  The Health, Mental Health and Safety in
Schools guidelines are designed to provide a means to address these
concerns.  The guidelines are based on sound research and/or best
practices.
The guidelines will help schools address health problems that can
improve
attendance, contribute to school success, and equalize student access to

education.

More than 300 school health and safety professionals from dozens of
national
education and health organizations, as well as other school health
supporters and parents, participated in developing these guidelines for
students and staff enrolled and working in elementary, middle/junior and

high schools across the United States.

Now it is your turn to help assemble the pieces that schools and
communities
need for health services and programs, health education, and healthy and

safe environments.

The Health, Mental Health and Safety in Schools guidelines will be
available
for public review from August 15, 2001 through September 20, 2001.
Starting
Wednesday August 15, please log on to www.nationalguidelines.org.  If
you
have any questions, please contact Kyle Wolfe, Project Assistant,
American
Academy of Pediatrics at 847/434-7788 or by e-mail at kwolfe at aap.org
