About

The NASBE State Policy Database on School Health is a tool for finding state health policies in schools. It uses the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model from the CDC, which has 10 areas like health education and nutrition. The database includes laws and guidelines from all U.S. states and territories as of September 2019. It describes how these policies support student well-being, covering topics like suicide prevention, vaccinations, and school meals. The database helps users find specific health policies by category or state to improve school environments for students' physical, emotional, and social needs.
