On The Road To Wellness As a district, we have started on a journey towards wellness for students, staff, and community. Our district School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) is composed of leaders in the community, district administrators, health service professionals, risk management representatives, business professionals, and parents. The task of this Council is to monitor the implementation of the Wellness Policy and to make recommendations to the School Board for the revision of the policy if necessary.

The School District of Osceola County is participating in the Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Healthy Schools Program. Their mission is to reduce the nationwide prevalence of childhood obesity by 2015 and empower kids nationwide to make healthy lifestyle choices. Their programs include Healthcare Initiatives, Healthy Schools Program, Industry Initiatives, and a Kids movement. Each school receives technical assistance and support from a variety of experts and resources to improve nutrition, physical activity, and staff wellness through participation in the program. The School Wellness Coordinator and School Wellness Committee assess the wellness of their school using the Healthy Schools Builder. They then create an Action Plan which is aligned with the Healthy Schools Program recognition criteria. Schools meeting the criteria are recognized at the national convention for the Alliance for a Healthier Generation.
