Tennessee CSH Law
Tennessee's Coordinated School Health Initiative
The Tennessee Department of Education works
in collaboration with the Tennessee Department
of Health and the Centers for Disease Control
& Prevention to implement Coordinated School
Health (CSH) in Tennessee. Based upon passage
of the Coordinated School Health Improvement
Act of 1999, Chapter 554 and the subsequent 2006
Public Chapter 1001, CSH was created and funded
with state budget dollars to implement CSH to all
school systems in Tennessee. Funds support the
development of a local infrastructure to promote
health, and wellness for all students and staff and
thereby decrease barriers that prevent students
from achieving their full academic potential.
