School Counselor's and Health Coordinator's Consortium
 

This program has historically involved as many as 25 of 27 area school districts. With the "sunsetting" of federal and state funds, CESA 8 Healthy Schools, Communities, and Related Programs Consortium will seek private funding to maintain several rural specific innovative and cutting edge programs. The success of this cadre rests in its ability to tap the countless resources housed within the 27 school districts and their respective 135 communities in meeting the needs of our regions, schools, and communities. Examples of recent successes includes authorship of the CESA 8 School Counselor's Web Page and related curriculum resources, R.F.A.S.T., the development of the CESA 8 Rural Middle School and High School Teen Institutes, and our longstanding initiative the Masters of Education in Rural Holistic Health, and ATOD.

The CESA 8 Drug-Free Schools Consortium will engage in the following activities as a priority:

1. Reformatting our Rural Middle School and High School Teen Institutes.
2. Provide training for additional mentor teachers to conduct the Middle School and High School Teen Institute.
3. Continue sponsorship of the CESA 8 Rural ATOD Masters Program.
4. Assistance with various youth awareness programs sponsored in conjunction with the five principle county prevention partnerships within our region.
5. Continued authorship of Holistic Health opportunities to expand our menu of services to our consortium districts and their respective communities.
