The district-wide Wellness Advisory Committee is an essential component of a successful, comprehensive, coordinated school health program. The committee's collective knowledge, expertise, influence, and advocacy can be a powerful force on behalf of the program. As a district-wide advisory body, the committee can identify health and social problems related to the community's youth, develop viable solutions, and identify key resources.
The Committee participates in the development, review, updating, and implementation of the Local District Wellness Policy. The Wellness Committee members include school administration, school nurses, food services, teachers, members of the community, students and parents.
