School Health and Neighborhood Support Programs

Health Promotion for Staff

Health Promotion for Staff means providing opportunities for school staff to improve their health status through activities such as health assessments, health education and health-related fitness activities. These opportunities encourage school staff to pursue a healthy lifestyle that contributes to their improved health status, improved morale, and a greater personal commitment to the school's overall coordinated health program. This personal commitment often transfers into greater commitment to the health of students and creates positive role modeling. Health promotion activities have improved productivity, decreased absenteeism, and reduced health insurance costs.

At Bakersfield City School District our employees participate in the Active for Life program, which helps them achieve optimal health by becoming more active and developing health lifestyle and eating habits.
