Community Schools and Health Equity Act supports school-based health services in community schools.
The Community Schools and Health Equity Act mandates the Secretary of Education to establish a grant program for eligible entities to integrate school-based health services into community schools. These services include primary care, mental health, and preventative care. Priority is given to entities serving high concentrations of low-income students, English learners, and immigrant families, or those in medically underserved areas. The program also aims to build partnerships with higher education institutions for health career pathways.
