The Lambton Kent District School Board and St. Clair Catholic district school boards signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Chatham-Kent and Lambton Public Health during a meeting held on Oct. 17 involving both school boards and the local heath units.

The school boards have a longstanding partnership with both local health units, who act as advisors on health and education issues. This agreement formalizes the commitment of Chatham-Kent and Lambton public health and education to work collaboratively to positively influence the lives of children and youth.

"We understand that healthy students are better learners and education is a key determinant of health and wellbeing," said Lambton Kent District School Board Director Jim Costello. "Through continued collaboration, we feel this partnership will support healthier communities."

"We greatly value our longstanding association with our public health partners and their tremendous support in the promotion of student health and wellbeing," said Dan Parr, Director of Education for the St. Clair Catholic District School Board.

The partnership promotes healthy school environments through strategic alignment of organizational priorities and planning, where appropriate. The Memorandum of Understanding also encourages information sharing, as well as supports health promotion and protection initiatives for student wellbeing.
