District health coordinators acknowledged that certain skills are important in developing coordinated school health programs, yet the extent to which they were able to perform these skills is limited. This makes it essential to address those skills and competencies through continuing education and professional development opportunities provided through workshops and state professional associations, where the highest percent of development opportunities occurred. Collaborative efforts of voluntary health organizations, state education departments, and institutions of higher education also can enhance the quality of district health coordinators and improve the status of coordinated school health programs.  \nUntil the late 1900s, school health programs traditionally consisted of some typeof a relationship between health instruction, health services and a healthful school environment.1 Not until the 1980s did a more sophisticated model emerge. Today’s eightcomponent coordinated school health (CSH) model serves not only to implement and integrate programs and strategies, which impact the complex issues associated with the high-risk behaviors of youth, but also has the potential to establish a sound foundation for academic success.2,3  \nAllensworth provides a functional definition for coordinated school health as a comprehensive model focusing on priority behaviors that:  \n• Interfere with learning and long-term well-being;  \n• Foster the development of a supportive foundation of family, friends, and community;  \n• Use interdisciplinary and interagency  \nteams to coordinate programs;  \n• Use multiple intervention strategies to attain programmatic outcomes;  \n• Promote active student involvement; solicits active family involvement;  \n• Provide staff development; and  \n• Accomplish health promotional goals via a program planning process.4  \nIn 1995, the School Health Policies and Program Study suggested that appointing an individual to be responsible for coordinating health education could improve health outcomes and strengthen school health programs.5 Numerous other reports also support the notion that an individual be identified to accept the responsibility and authority for coordinating the components related to school health programs.6–10 For the purpose of this paper the term used to identify the person in this leadership role is the district health coordinator. Conceptually, this person has the knowledge, skills  \nand responsibility for coordinating the eight components of CSH within their district.  \nDEFINING SKILL SETS FOR EFFECTIVE SCHOOL HEALTH LEADERSHIP  \nThe literature does provide some guidance for development of knowledge and skills for effective leadership in coordinating school health programs. These include skills in program advocacy, assessment,  \nGary English, PhD, is with the Statewide Center for Healthy Schools, 77 North Ann Street, Little Falls, NY 13365; E-mail: genglish@ [nyshealthyschools.org.
