Acknowledgment and Appreciation

The Nebraska Health and Human Services (NHHS) acknowledges with appreciation the historical work of the Nebraska Committee for Children and Youth who appointed a special Study Committee on Health Services in Nebraska Schools to revise the original Department of Health Manual. These Committee recommendations supported the revisions of Health Services in Nebraska Schools accomplished in 1975, 1980, 1985 and 2004.

Upon creation of the NHHS School Health Program in 1992, this current revision of the 2004 document was undertaken by the School Health Advisory Committee.

School health programs are receiving national attention as society seeks to control health care costs while promoting access to health care for all. The Nebraska Department of Education (N DOE) and NHHS are cooperating to foster comprehensive school health programs in all Nebraska schools in order to achieve our goal of healthier children, healthy Nebraska.
