Spotlight: Student Heath and Safety

This week, Public School Insights turns its attention to student health and security. Both are essential to safe, inspiring learning environments that foster strong student peformance. Yet both have receded to the background of current debates on school reform. In fact, as I noted last week, obscure changes to Medicaid billing rules threaten to slash billions from programs that support student health.
So, stay tuned to www.publicschoolinsights.org for a series of on-line events focusing on student health, including:
- An exclusive interview with fitness legend Richard Simmons, who will tell us about his campaign to bring physical education back to public schools. Coming March 27th, 2:00 pm
- A showcase of leading education associations’ initiatives to ensure every child a healthy learning environment.
- A showcase of these education associations’ work to ensure every child a safe learning environment.
- Inspiring new stories about public schools that use innovative strategies to create safe and healthy learning environments.
