BACKGROUND
background
The Guilford County Health and Human Services Agency’s Public Health Department requests approval to amend its existing Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Guilford County Schools (GCS) to expand access to school-based preventive dental services.
The amendment would expand eligibility from students in first and second grades to students in grades one through five at designated GCS elementary schools. It would also extend the agreement through June 30, 2031.
The School-Based Oral Health Program helps identify dental problems early and prevent dental disease by providing services in schools. During the period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, the program served 393 students. The proposed expansion would make these services available to more elementary students.
