An effective school health program requires optimum coordination of the efforts of parental, professional, governmental, voluntary, religious, commercial, civic, and service groups in the community. Common methods for achieving coordination, which vary in effectiveness depending upon available personnel and community needs, include: (1) informal procedures, (2) an ad-hoc problem-solving group, (3) a continuing committee or council, (4) a specialized advisory committee, and (5) combinations or adaptations of the above. Effective coordination also requires leadership which exhibits an understanding of the school health program, appreciation of program goals, skill in working with people, and a discriminating use of authority. The coordinating group must also develop procedures to continually evaluate the efforts and effectiveness of the program. A selected bibliography containing 82 references from the literature pertaining to teamwork in school-community health programs is included. (JH)
