The following guidelines must be observed when submitting to the Texas School Health Association Newsletter Editorial Review Board. Many types of original manuscripts are suitable - practical, theoretical, technical, historical, controversial. Use simple, clear writing and stick to the topic. Philosophical justifications or historical backgrounds are not usually necessary. Write for the Newsletter's readers - school health educators, school nurses, health agency personnel, food service personnel, PE teachers, counselors, SHAC members,  and others concerned with Coordinated School Health in Texas. Please conform to the following:

1. Type manuscripts, including quoted material and references, double-spaced on 8 1/2 x 11 inch white paper, with one inch margins, using 12 point Times font.
    
2. Submit five complete copies of the manuscript on paper. Three copies go to reviewers; two remain on file.
