Superintendent’S

Health Advisory Council (HAC)

“As a School District, we have the responsibility of creating and maintaining
a safe and healthy learning environment in which students can share life’s
experiences, share their fears and/or concerns, learn, and receive the hope
and encouragement they need to continue pressing toward the mark or goal
of overall well-being. The School District’s Wellness Promotion Task Force
is committed to supporting lifelong wellness practices and holistic care in
which the whole person...spirit, mind, and body of our students, staff and
stakeholders can be empowered to make choices that promote restoration
and preservation of health. As a District, we will continue to facilitate and
assist the task force to create and maintain the safe and healthy school
environments that foster increasing health and provide basic psychological
support to equip students, staff and parents with knowledge and critical
skills that can be applied in everyday learning and life.”

Jay Boggess,
Assistant Superintendent of Choice and Innovation

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The School District of Palm Beach County established a Superintendent’s
Health Advisory Committee (HAC) comprised of medical professionals, community leaders, and District staff.
In FY21, this committee was led by Mr. Jay Boggess, and it convened several times during the school year to
provide guidance to Superintendent Donald E. Fennoy II.

HAC focused and based on the most current COVID-19 data, guidelines, and recommendations from federal,
state, and local health and government entities. This collaboration contributed to the creation of COVID-19
protocols and procedures for students and staff, which resulted in schools and individual classrooms remaining
open for in-person learning during the 2020-2021 school year.
