| Description: | Over the past eight months the Center for Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness (CLOE) has been working with Buffalo Public Schools (BPS) to assist with implementation of a health and wellness mandated policy that involves creating health and wellness teams in the district’s 58 schools (30,000 students) to initiate comprehensive health and wellness assessments in each school and start initiatives to address a range of health and wellness factors (nutrition, physical exercise, mental health services, STD and pregnancy prevention, etc.). So far, CLOE has provided over $50,000 in consulting and leadership, team, and organizational development assistance, working with the BPS leaders in charge of the initiative to set up a health and wellness organizational infrastructure, and design and implement a leadership and team development program to set up functioning health and wellness teams in all BPS schools. |
