The Building and Sustaining Healthy Schools for All Students pilot begins a transformation process in New Jersey public schools by directing resources to build and sustain healthy schools for all students. Pilot participants represent 27 schools from 19 school districts throughout the state’s northern, central, and southern regions. The pilot employs a six-step approach to help schools understand, adopt, and implement the WSCC model, based on the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors’ (NACDD’s) publication, The Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child Model: A Guide to Implementation (2017).

School Initiatives are our documented successes and challenges from the New Jersey schools participating in The Building and Sustaining Healthy Schools for All Students pilot. Schools can learn and grow from their experiences and triumphs.
