SUBJECT: HIV/AIDS PROGRAM ASSESSMENT DISTRICT SURVEY
The Florida Department of Education’s Office of Coordinated School Health, HIV/AIDS
Prevention Education Program is conducting a statewide survey. The purpose of the survey is to

education in the state. Please assist us in this endeavor by having staff complete this online
survey by

The Coordinated School Health Program (CSHP), HIV/AIDS Prevention Education Program is
supported by a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and
Prevention to improve HIV/AIDS education based on school district and school needs. The
survey was developed by a CDC evaluation contractor, The Academy for Educational
Development, and was provided to all CDC funded state and local projects as an example of a
high quality assessment document.
