About Public Health Coordination
The Regional School Safety Center works collaboratively with the AESD Network, the Department of Health, and OSPI to support statewide PreK-12 COVID-19 response and mitigation efforts, address other emerging infections and conditions of a public health significance, and coordinate recovery and post-pandemic planning efforts among local education agencies. We work closely with the School Nurse Corps, Prevention and Intervention Services Programs, and Local Health Jurisdictions.
Services we provide
- Technical assistance to support public health initiatives that lay the foundation for future public health response.
- Support with pandemic and post-pandemic planning, response, and recovery activities, including prevention and mitigation strategies.
- Connections to resources and best practice models.
- Facilitate connections among schools and regional public health partners.
- Function as regional conveyors of public health information and feedback.
