Out and In: Engaging Schools in Outreach to Insure All Children
 |
AASA's 2015 Superintendent of the Year, Philip Lanoue talks about taking up the charge on a vision for healthy, well-educated children. Lanoue cites his district's engagement in the AASA/CDF school-based health insurance initiative as the district's gateway to setting performance goals on healthy students in their strategic plan.

In 2011, AASA was awarded a two-year federal grant from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to enroll eligible children in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). At that time, there were eight million uninsured children in the United States.
