2 Healthy Schools Grant Program I. Background Information The Tacoma - Pierce County Health Department s mission is to safeguard and enhance the health of the communities of Pierce County. Active living, healthy eating and preventing tobacco use are three of the most important factors in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and reducing the risk factors associated with chronic disease. Rates of childhood obesity in Pierce County are higher than the Washington State obesity rate. Twenty-five percent of high school students are overweight or obese with the root causes of obesity stemming from too little exercise and too many calories consumed. According to 2010 Healthy Youth Survey, approximately 20% of Pierce County 12th graders used cigarettes. About 50 youth begin using tobacco every day in Washington State. Youth are at risk for starting to use tobacco products due to the tobacco industry marketing to youth, tobacco products being accessible and youth being exposed to secondhand smoke. Implementing proven school-based health interventions is effective in improving students academic achievement, well-being and quality of life. Building partnerships between public health agencies and schools is one of the primary strategies to reduce health risks among youth. II. Purpose of the Grant The Healthy Schools Grant is intended to 1) support schools and school districts that have the desire to focus on reversing the obesity epidemic through increased opportunities for physical activity and healthy eating and 2) support schools and school districts to implement tobacco curriculum that focus on preventing and reducing tobacco use and/or strengthening current tobacco policies. The funding will support applicants that demonstrate the ability to make sustainable changes in student health using a policy, systems and environmental change approach. III. Whom May Apply Eligible applicants are all Pierce County schools and school districts. IV. Estimated Range of Awards The Health Department will award grants of up to $5,000 at the school building level and up to $10,000 at the district administration level. In addition to funding, awardees will receive technical assistance and resources from Health Department staff to implement identified strategies. V. Application Process & Timeline 1.
