Program Development and Evaluation Committee:

Meeting Time: Third Thursday of every month from 2:00 to 4:00pm

The purpose of the committee is to support the efficacy of the school health center model through program development, evaluation, technical assistance and training. The committee helps to organize regional meetings and the webinar series for school health centers, provides oversight to projects, and supports the creation and marketing of resources such as the SHC Policy and Procedures Manual and Partnering with SHC: What Schools Need to Know. During the next year, we look forward to continued efforts in improving data collection and reporting as we work collaboratively with multiple partners including IDHS and identified community health centers to pilot a comprehensive SBHC evaluation.
