District Wellness Advisory Committee

The District Wellness Advisory Committee serves to support the goals of Miami-Dade County Public Schools through promoting a safe, healthy and supportive learning environment to contribute to students’ well-being and ability to learn. The Wellness Advisory Committee meets monthly to discuss, support and review the District Wellness Policy and current scientific-based health and wellness recommendations for children and adults and, if applicable, make recommendations for policy revisions to the Superintendent of Schools. The Wellness Advisory Committee is composed of appointed community members and supported through multiple District departments to ensure stakeholder participation and contribute to the integrity of school nutrition programs as outlined under the federal Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.
