The Georgia Board of Education, working through the Georgia

Department of Education, has taken major steps in recent years to

improve the health of all Georgians,

The board in November of 1976 adopted a new policy for high

school graduation which includes course requirements and compete--

cies in health education. In 1980 the board adopted a new sestandards for Georgia public schools, New health education recit. -ments for grades kindergarten through eight are stipulated in these

standards,

This guide has been developed to provide assistance to local school

districts as they plan and implement instructional programs to meet the

requirements of the Georgia Board of Education and the health-related

needs of students in the local school district.

We appreciate the time and effort given by the committee members

and staff and commend them for this excellent publication. We are

confident the guidelines presented here will help improve health educa.
