Historic and ongoing inequities in people's ability to access infrastructure--including differential access to services and supports that advance health outcomes and differential exposure to challenges that threaten well-being--reinforce disparate health and economic outcomes by race. Such inequities begin prenatally and accumulate over the course of a child's early years and through adolescence. Schools play a critical role in either perpetuating or interrupting these inequities, as they are both a venue for children and youth to receive the supports needed for healthy development and for encountering various health risks. Creating healthy schools, then, is one strategy to disrupt ongoing racial health inequities and broader societal inequities. The National Healthy Schools Collaborative defines a healthy school as one that "recognizes and advances the mental, physical, social, and emotional wellbeing of students and educators as a fundamental strategy to effective learning." This brief examines how healthy schools may help address racial inequities across five key areas: health systems, public education, juvenile justice, environmental conditions, and family income. For each area, the brief reviews related racial inequities and, most importantly, describes how healthy schools may contribute to community efforts to dismantle such inequities.
