District Committee
Wellness Committee
The Wellness Committee advises the district on nutrition and physical fitness and helps keep our local Wellness Policy current.
Why We Have a Wellness Committee
All school districts that participate in the National School Lunch Program must establish a Wellness Committee to review and revise the local Wellness Policy every three years. The committee helps ensure compliance with BISD Policy 6700 and Procedure 6700P.
Who Serves on the Committee
The committee is made up of staff, parent/guardian and community representatives. It advises on the implementation of the district-wide nutrition and physical fitness procedures and meets at least twice a year to track how well they are working and make recommendations as needed.
Topics the Committee Advises On
| ✓ Nutrition | ✓ Recess and physical activity |
| ✓ Wellness | ✓ Physical education |

The committee’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to, monitoring that:
✓ One or more officials at each school are identified to ensure compliance with the Wellness Policy and Procedure
✓ Staff, parents/guardians and community members are notified of their ability to participate on the committee
✓ An annual report is developed and shared with the public
