1. Student Health Initiative

1.1 BACKGROUND

The 1998-2001 Government of Alberta Business Planincludes a goal that government will "support communities indeveloping integrated or collaborative approaches to meetingthe needs of children . . . and introduce health strategies toaddress priority health issues."

Integrated service delivery is essential to support the healthydevelopment of Alberta's children. Integration at thecommunity, regional and provincial levels means that childrenand families experience easy access to services and resources.In any given service or program, integration requires acombination of communication, cooperation, coordination andcollaboration among service providers and governmentministries.

To support the integration of services for children, theChild and Family Services Secretariat facilitated thedevelopment of the Alberta Children's Initiative: An Agendafor Joint Action, identifying student health as one of thepriorities. It is recognized that to ensure children are well caredfor, safe, successful at learning and healthy, greatercollaboration and coordination is required and all partners mustbe accountable for the successful achievement of these goals.These goals do not stand by themselves. Children will haveeducational success only if they are healthy, safe and wellcared for: Similarly, children can be considered healthy andwell cared for, only if they are educated and safe.

The Student Health Initiative responds to needs identified ingovernment-sponsored, inter-sectoral student health researchprojects conducted in 1996/1997 in the geographical areas ofthe Chinook, Mistahia, Aspen and Headwaters Regional HealthAuthorities. The project reports identify longstanding issuesregarding the provision of student health services, such asinsufficient funding, fragmented service delivery, multipleservice providers, and the lack of mechanisms for jointplanning, funding and accountability.

I are registered in schoolprograms from EarlyChildhood Services (ECS)to Grade 12.

Student Health Partnership Planning Guide: 1999/2000

The Student Health Initiative also responds to the increasednumber of children in school with significant health needs, whorequire a range of health and related support services. Factorscontributing to this include:

increased survival rate of premature and low birth-weightinfantsbetter identification of health and learning problems relatedto maternal tobacco, drug and alcohol useimproved medical technology and pharmaceuticals resultingin increased survival rates of high risk and medically fragileinfants and childreninclusion of children with significant special needs in localschools.

1.2 PURPOSE

Student Health is a joint initiative of the provincial governmentpartners of Education, Health, Family and Social Services, theAlberta Mental Health Board (formerly Provincial MentalHealth Advisory Board), and Child and Family ServicesSecretariat, with the recent addition of CommunityDevelopment to facilitate the local planning process for studenthealth services.

The goal of the Student Health Initiative is to enhance theprovision of a range of integrated health and related supportservices for children with special health needs registered inschool programs and improve access to these services. Theinitiative will help ensure that children with special healthneeds are able to participate fully in their education programsand attain their potential.

In the Student Health Initiative, children with special healthneeds are those children who:

have physical disabilities, developmental disabilities, .

neurological disorders, sensory impairments, medicalconditions, and/or emotional/behavioural disabilities; andare registered in school programs from Early ChildhoodServices (ECS) to Grade 12.

1.3 STUDENT HEALTH INITIATIVE PRINCIPLES

The partners Education, Health, Family and Social Services,the Alberta Mental Health Board, the Child and FamilyServices Secretariat, and Community Development endorsethe following principles to guide the planning, delivery andfunding of student health services.

Children with special health needs receive the health andrelated support services they need to benefit fully from theireducation programs and attain their potential.Children and families are involved in decisions regardingthe provision of student health services.Student health services involve joint planning, collaborationand flexibility at all levels.Student health services are based on assessed needs andprovided to achieve specific results.Alberta Education, Health, and Family and Social Serviceswill ensure resources are available for student healthservices.Joint service plans at the local level must commit tocontinue existing expenditures for student health and showhow new and existing resources are consolidated to providestudent health services.Student health services are organized to make the mostefficient and effective use of new and existing resources.School authorities, regional health authorities, regionaloffices of the Alberta Mental Health Board and child andfamily services authorities share accountability for studenthealth services.

Note:

It is expected that other schoolauthorities (charter schools,private schools, private ECSoperators) will be part of astudent health partnership.

Student Health Partnership Planning Guide: 1999/2000

1 .4 STUDENT HEALTH PARTNERSHIPThe Student Health Initiative supports communities in theirefforts to build a network of support for children with specialhealth needs registered in school programs.

Local service providers school jurisdictions, regional healthauthorities, regional offices of the Alberta Mental Health Boardand child and family services authorities are expected toform a student health partnership and work together, with otherrelevant stakeholders, to develop a joint service plan.

It is expected that other school authorities (charter schools,private schools, private ECS operators) will be part of a studenthealth partnership.

The joint service plan will outline local priorities and how thestudent health partnership plans to:

improve the provision of integrated health and relatedsupport services for children with special health needsregistered in school programshelp ensure that children with special health needs are ableto participate in their school programs and attain theirpotential.

To facilitate the initial formation of the student healthpartnership, it is expected that school jurisdictions willcollaborate in taking the lead to bring together the' partners.In order to develop and submit the joint service plan by no laterthan November 1, 1999 authorities should form a partnershipas soon as possible.

2. Student Health Funding

The Student Health Initiative will provide $25.6 millionannually to enhance the provision of a range of integratedstudent health services so children with special health needs arebetter able to learn at school.

This Student Health Initiative funding represents newgovernment dollars and is separate from the education fundingfor students with special needs, which is currently provided toschool authorities, as outlined in Alberta Education's FundingManual for School Authorities.

Student Health Partnership Planning Guide: 1999/2000

2.1 ACCESSING STUDENT HEALTH FUNDING

In spring 1999, all partnering authorities will be notified as tothe student health funding allocation which is availablecommencing September 1 of the 1999/2000 school year.For administrative efficiency Alberta Education, on behalf ofthe provincial government partners, allocates the student healthfunding to school authorities on a school year basis.

The student health funding allocation may only be accessed ifpartners join together and form a student health partnership.The funding must be pooled and used as a shared resource bythe student health partnership to address priority student healthneeds. All partners need to be involved in decisions relating tothe distribution of the pooled funding, based on thepartnership's approved joint service plan.

Upon government's approval of the student health partnership'sjoint service plan (see pages 7-13 for more information on theplan), Alberta Education will release the student health fundingallocation to the school jurisdiction designated by the studenthealth partnership as the "banker" to receive and administer thefunds allocated on behalf of the partnership.

Government approval of release of the student health funding iscontingent upon the following conditions:

commitment to use the new funding for health and relatedsupport services for children with special health needsregistered in school programscommitment by all partners in the Student Health Initiativeto maintain current levels of expenditures on student healthservices, with the flexibility for partners to allocate otherfunds to support integrated student health servicesconsolidation of new and existing resources to improve theprovision of student health servicescommitment by the student health partnership to annuallyreport on the allocation of new and current funding for healthand related support services, and achievement of resultscommitment by the student health partnership that any studenthealth surplus funds are used for student health services onlyjoint management of student health, at the local level, by thestudent health partnership based on the approved jointservice plan.

2. school-aged children withspecial health needs areable to participate fully intheir school programs andattain their potential.

Student Health Partnership Planning Guide: 1999/2000

Student Health NeedsThe student health partnership must determine student healthneeds by identifying the:

number of students assessed with mild/moderate disablingconditions or with severe disabling conditionscritical risks and needs based on an analysis of the currentcaseloadservice gapscurrent level of expenditures on student health services byeach of the partnersnumber of students who received student health servicesduring the 1998/1999 school yearstudent health and related support service needs which havenot been met.

Service PrioritiesThe service priorities, based on an assessment of student healthneeds and service gaps, must identify:

which needs, within the range of student health services,will be addressed in the initial planthe essential characteristics of the service delivery model;e.g., a coordinated approach to service delivery with strongpartnerships and stakeholder consultation in determiningpriorities.

GoalsThe goals are broad statements of desired results or what thestudent health partnership wants to accomplish. At aminimum, two required goals are:1. school-aged children with special health needs have access

to a range of coordinated health and related supportservices to meet their needs

2. school-aged children with special health needs are able toparticipate fully in their school programs and attain theirpotential.

Additional goals should be identified to address servicepriorities and student health needs specific to the student healthpartnership.

2. number of students whoachieve the goals of theireducation IndividualizedProgram Plans (IPPs).

StrategiesINANNWPIIIIMIng!!!!!WWStrategies must identify how thestudent health partnership willresult in:

improved access to a rangeof coordinated student healthservicesbetter coordination of studenthealth services for childrenregistered in schoolprograms.

Student Health Partnership Planning Guide: 1999/2000

Performance Measures and TargetsThe performance measures provide information about theachievement of goals. Targets identify the performancemeasure levels that are expected to be achieved within the1999/2000 school year and as a part of the continuousthree-year planning cycle.

In the 1999/2000 school year, two required performancemeasures and targets (outputs) are:I. percentage of students with special health needs who are

provided services, with a target of an increase in thepercentage of students served

2. number of students who achieve the goals of theireducation Individualized Program Plans (IPPs), with atarget of an increase in the number of students who achievethe goals of their IPPs.

The student health partnership may develop additionalperformance measures to address outcomes such as:

access to a range of servicescontinuous quality improvement of best practicesimprovement of overall educational achievementstakeholder satisfactionimproved coordination of services across stakeholders.

All identified performance measures should have targets.For example, if the performance measure is "to determine theparents' ratings of the quality of student health services theirchildren received," the target might be that 90 per cent of theparents rate the services their children received as being goodor excellent.

StrategiesThe strategies are broad descriptions of actions to accomplishshort to medium-term (one to three years) goals of the studenthealth partnership. Strategies should be achievable withinavailable resources, and address identified needs, issues andareas for improvement.

To address the delivery of services, strategies must identifyhow the student health partnership will result in:

improved access to a range of coordinated student healthservicesbetter coordination of student health services for childrenregistered in school programs.

Please note:

Student Health Partnership Planning Guide: 1999/2000

In addition to strategies to deliver student health services, it isanticipated that, in the initial school year of 1999/2000, theemphasis will be on developing processes needed tosuccessfully manage student health service delivery andplanning. Therefore, initial strategies must address the:

development of partnerships, including decision-makingprocesses and reporting mechanismsassessment of needs and current resourcesestablishment of consultation processes with communities,families and other service providersdevelopment of processes for monitoring and evaluation,and management and information systemsdevelopment of dispute resolution processes.

Financial PlanThe financial plan must be submitted with the joint service planand demonstrate accountability by reporting costs for studenthealth service delivery.

The financial plan must include completed Forms 1 and 2(Appendices B and C, pages 18 and 19). These forms may besupplemented with any additional information that strengthensthe linkage between financial information and the joint serviceplan.

Prior to filling out Forms 1 and 2, it is important to note thefollowing.* Students who receive more than one student health service

should be reported under each eligible service category.* Teaching assistants are a unique service provider group.

Since teaching assistants may spend only a portion of theirtime providing student health services, school authoritiesmay wish to estimate their costs by using a percentage. Thesuggested guide is that 25 per cent of a teaching assistant'stime is spent providing health and related support services tostudents with special health needs in the classroom. Forfuture reporting purposes, and based on actual expendituresduring the 1999/2000 school year, the partnership mustdetermine if the estimated percentage accurately reflects theportion of teaching assistant time spent on providing studenthealth services.

STUDENT HEALTH INITIATIVE FUNDING

FUNDING PRINCIPLES

All partners in the student health partnershipmust maintain current levels of expenditures onstudent health services. All partners canallocate other funds to support integratedstudent health services.

The student health initiative partnership mustuse the student health funding for health andrelated support services for children withspecial health needs registered in schoolprograms.

The student health partnership mustconsolidate new and existing resources toenhance the provision of student healthservices.

The student health partnership is accountablefor joint management of student health, at thelocal level, based on the approved joint serviceplan.

The student health partnership will be allowedto retain any student health surplus funds;however, these funds must be used for studenthealth services.

The student health partnership must annuallyreport on the allocation of new and currentfunding for health and related support services,and achievement of results.

FUNDING PARAMETERS

Funding for student health services is providedto help ensure that children with special healthneeds registered in school programs are able toparticipate fully in their education programs andattain their potential.

Funding commences in September of the1999/2000 school year and is allocated on aschool year basis.

School authorities, regional health authorities,the Provincial Mental Health Advisory Board,and child and family services authorities areinformed each spring of the government'sstudent health funding to be pooled in studenthealth partnerships.

The funding allocation model (see page 2) isbased on funded children/students in ECS toGrade 12 and is used as a method to allocatethe funds to school authorities.

The student health funding allocation can onlybe accessed by a student health partnership.The funding must be pooled and used as ashared resource by the student healthpartnership to address priority student healthneeds.

All partners need to be involved in decisionsrelating to the distribution of the pooled funding,based on the partnership's approved jointservice plan.

The formation of a student health partnership iskey to the success of the Student Health Initiativeand must include at least one of each of theregional authority partners school jurisdiction(public or separate), regional health authority,regional office of the Alberta Mental Health Board,and child and family services authority. It isexpected that other school authorities (charterschools, private schools, private ECS operators)will be part of a student health partnership.

In the initial formation of the student healthpartnership, it is expected that school jurisdictionswill collaborate in taking the lead to bring together allpartners.

Upon government's approval of the studenthealth partnership's joint service plan, AlbertaEducation will release the student healthfunding allocation. The allocation will bereleased to the school jurisdiction designatedby theatudent health partnership as the"banker" to receive and administer the fundsallocated on behalf of the partnership.

FUNDING ACCOUNTABILITY

As outlined in the Student Health PartnershipPlanning Guide: 1999/2000, the student healthpartnership must develop and submit forapproval an annual joint service plan whichincludes eight components:

Statement of AccountabilityStudent Health Partnership ProfileStudent Health NeedsService PrioritiesGoalsPerformance Measures and TargetsStrategiesFinancial Plan.

As outlined in the Student Health PartnershipPlanning Guide: 1999/2000, the student healthpartnership must submit for review a jointannual report, by November 1, 2000 for the1999/2000 school year.

April 1999

STUDENT HEALTH INITIATIVE FUNDING ALLOCATION MODEL

RATIONALE AND WEIGHTING FACTORS

The purpose of the Student Health funding is to help fill in the "gaps" and supplementfunding currently provided to the joint partners at the local level. Since there is currently nodata available, which specifically identifies student health needs, the model distributes thefunding based on estimates of students who require student health services.

As more accurate data becomes available through the joint service plans and annualreports, the funding allocation model will be modified to more accurately distribute thestudent health funding to where the needs are identified.

The funding model is based on the understanding that most students who require studenthealth services are those with disabilities. The model approximates the number of studentswho require student health services by combining the numbers of students with disabilitieswith a portion of the general student population who also require student health services.

Students with mild/moderate disabilities are weighted at 2x and students with severedisabilities are weighted at 4x. These weightings are based on similar weightings used inEducation funding (i.e., mild/moderate students are funded at approximately two times thelevel of regular students and severe students are funded at approximately four times thelevel of regular students).

It is estimated that in addition to students with disabilities, approximately 5 per cent of thegeneral student population may require student health services. The ECS Gr. 4 enrolmentpopulation is weighted at 2x to give emphasis to early intervention.

The joint partners at the local level will decide how the funding will be utilized. The jointpartners are in no way obligated to allocate the funding in the same manner in which it isreceived. Therefore, the joint partners' allocation of funds to the various student groups(i.e., Mild, moderate, severe and general enrolment) may not be the same as that reflectedin the allocation model.
