Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Educational Policy
  • Child Development

Background:

  • A case study in a large urban school district utilized the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model.
  • The focus was on developing a district wellness policy, emphasizing health education for students with special needs and English as a New Language (ENL).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the application of the WSCC model in creating and implementing a district-wide wellness policy.
  • To highlight the health education component, particularly for vulnerable student populations.

Main Methods:

  • The organizational structure was aligned with the WSCC model.
  • Implementation focused on coordination, collaboration, and communication (3Cs) of programs, policies, and practices (3Ps).

Main Results:

  • The WSCC model guided policy creation, influencing programming for special needs students and mandating Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) data collection.
  • Data from YRBS and School Health Index (SHI) informed sexual health education planning, showing improvements.
  • A School Health and Wellness Collaborative enhanced family engagement and community partnerships for sexual health initiatives.
  • An evidence-based sexual health curriculum was co-created and adapted for special education and ENL students.

Conclusions:

  • The WSCC approach is a system-changing strategy that requires time to build essential relationships for improving coordination, collaboration, and communication (3Cs) and programs, policies, and practices (3Ps).
  • Success factors include a dedicated district wellness coordinator, stakeholder involvement, reliable health data, and administrative support.
