► CSHS Meetings

These meetings are designed for Massachusetts School Nurse Managers in districts that have received either the Model or Affiliated Comprehensive School Health Services (CSHS) grant. There are four meetings per school year. The first three meetings are conducted as live trainings via Zoom, and the last meeting is held in person at a central location in MA.

NOTE: While programming for CSHS meetings is developed with the grantee scope of service and performance measures in mind, any school health professional may benefit from topics covered. Guiding principles for CQI projects described within the grant framework are applicable to any district or school.
