                                 A BILL


 
 To create ``Healthy American Schools,'' where children will learn the 
lifelong health and fitness skills vital to developing a smart body and 
  smart mind and to empower every school with the ability to become a 
   healthy school, built on a firm foundation of ``healthy mind and 
                       healthy body'' curricula.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Healthy Students-Healthy Schools 
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) comprehensive, high quality education for the children 
        of the United States has always been important, but in recent 
        years it has become even more critical to the social and 
        economic viability of our country;
            (2) unhealthy children do not learn well and tend to grow 
        into unhealthy adults, never realizing their full potential;
            (3) without an increased focus on the health of our 
        children, the United States will not be able to successfully 
        compete in the 21st century;
            (4) given the international dimensions of the health and 
        education challenges facing the United States, the Federal 
        Government should play a key role in the national effort to 
        equip all American children with the intellectual and physical 
        skills needed to compete in the new and rapidly changing global 
        marketplace;
            (5) although States and localities bear the primary 
        responsibility for elementary and secondary education, strong 
        national leadership, from the Congress and the Executive 
        branch, is vital to the future health of our children, schools, 
        and the United States;
            (6) studies show that high quality, comprehensive 
        educational care, as early as 3 years of age, translates into 
        well-rounded individuals, better school performance, lower 
        drop-out rates, lower teenage pregnancy rates, lower 
        unemployment rates, and lower crime rates;
            (7) a better understanding of the principles of good 
        health, taught in a gender and culturally competent manner, 
        could help children succeed in school and become active, 
        productive members of society;
            (8) statistics on federally supported efforts to improve 
        comprehensive school health curriculum demonstrate the 
        effectiveness of preventive programs on the knowledge, 
        behavior, and fitness of children and adolescents, yet few 
        school systems offer such programs and most States do not have 
        the resources to enforce sequential school health education 
        requirements;
            (9) several different agencies located in the Departments 
        of Health and Human Services, Education, Agriculture, Interior, 
        Energy, Defense, and Transportation currently administer school 
        health education programs in areas such as AIDS education, drug 
        abuse education, nutrition, physical fitness, smoking 
        prevention, and asthma education;
            (10) throughout the 1980s, Federal school health education 
        efforts lacked coordination, despite--
                    (A) the 1978 legislative mandate directing the 
                Commissioner of Education at what was then the 
                Department of Health, Education, and Welfare to consult 
                with the Public Health Service and the Surgeon General 
                to ``assure coordination and prevent duplication of 
                effort'' in all school health education programs; and
                    (B) the re-authorization and funding in 1988 of the 
                Department of Education's Office of Comprehensive 
                School Health Education;
            (11) a coordinated Federal effort is needed to help State 
        and local educational agencies develop and implement 
        comprehensive school health education programs;
            (12) over the past several years, the Department of Health 
        and Human Services has led most Federal health education 
        efforts, and the Public Health Service's 1990 report entitled 
        ``Healthy People 2000: National Health Promotion and Disease 
        Prevention Objectives'' outlines a comprehensive national 
        strategy for improving the health of all Americans during this 
        decade and includes specific goals related to school health 
        education;
            (13) one of the chief ``Healthy People 2000'' objectives is 
        to increase to at least 75 percent the proportion of the 
        Nation's elementary and secondary schools that provide planned 
        and sequential kindergarten through 12th grade quality school 
        health education; and
            (14) the President and the Nation's governors have set six 
        national education goals, as part of a strategy to create a new 
        generation of American schools, which complement the Healthy 
        People 2000 goals and form the basis of a healthy partnership.
    (b) Purposes.--It is the purpose of this Act to--
            (1) provide the Federal leadership needed to create Healthy 
        American Schools, the building blocks of a healthy and strong 
        education system capable of providing every child with the 
        lifelong skills needed to become an intellectually and 
        physically fit member of a productive work force;
            (2) ensure that all federally funded school health 
        education programs, including alcohol and substance abuse 
        prevention programs, are coordinated and share the goals of 
        reducing categorical barriers and comprehensively encouraging 
        healthy students and healthy schools;
            (3) designate a central office within the Department of 
        Health and Human Services for the coordination and direction of 
        Federal school health education efforts;
            (4) establish a Federal clearinghouse where teachers can 
        easily access health education information through the use of 
        innovative and interactive technologies;
            (5) establish an independent advisory council of highly 
        respected, bipartisan, diverse experts to study, make 
        recommendations, and identify core national health education 
        goals to be known as the ``Healthy Students-Healthy Schools 
        Goals'' that are consistent with the Healthy People 2000 
        Objectives;
            (6) develop standards and a model framework for sequential 
        Comprehensive School Health Education programs for use in 
        kindergarten through grade 12;
            (7) establish a comprehensive framework through which the 
        Department of Health and Human Services will coordinate a 
        national effort to assess, on a continuing basis, the health-
        related knowledge and behaviors of the Nation's school children 
        and recognize schools which have successfully grown into 
        Healthy American Schools; and
            (8) establish an interagency task force on school health 
        education to reduce categorical barriers and foster cooperation 
        among Federal agencies carrying out school health education 
        programs.
