Identify how each team member’s expertise can help to strengthen coordinated school health
programs and build effective school-health partnerships.
Identify additional stakeholders that should be invited to participate on the state team.
MOST IMPORTANT - Formulate a strategic plan with 2-3 goals and concrete action steps
to achieve those goals. A finalized plan should be submitted to NGA by November 30, 2001.

• Eat Lunch & Get Acquainted
• Overview of Coordinated School Health in Your State

• Discuss Potential Additions to State Team
Use this time to get acquainted. (Some team members may know each other better than others.) Introduce yourself
and describe your role in state policy, in program implementation, or in coordinated school health generally. Each
person should think about what they bring to the team and how his or her participation can help the team create a
comprehensive and effective statewide school-health partnership. Also: think about additional stakeholders that
should be invited to participate on your state team (legislators, CBO directors, school officials, university leaders,
etc.)
During this initial team time, a national expert will be paired with your state team. Please use their policy expertise
and experience at working with states on coordinated school health initiatives to your benefit. Review the status of
coordinated school health programs and partnerships in your state. Go back to your Network application and start
to prioritize goals and objectives focused on building statewide partnerships and launching coordinated school
health initiatives. Identify 2-3 goals that you want to be the focus of your activities in the Network. Then begin
discussing action steps necessary to achieve those goals. Assign a team member to take notes!
