The School District of Palm Beach County, Florida - Wellness Promotion Task Force
Wellness Promotion Task Force Meetings
Wellness Promotion Task Force (WPTF) Mission:
To create an educational forum that allows District and community partners to successfully collaborate in the promotion of healthier lives. With the District’s ultimate goal of improving student performance, the direction of the Wellness Promotion Task Force is to encourage a proactive approach to holistically address the health, wellness, and safety of all school children, staff, parents, and the community.
The WPTF is a coalition that is instrumental in promoting wellness and fulfilling the requirements under Public Law 111-296. There were five formal Task Force meetings during the 2016-2017 school year to discuss current wellness events, showcase wellness efforts and introduce new ideas and topics to everyone. We had remarkable speakers and presentations at these meetings.
There was great participation from district leadership and administrators, students, teachers, parents, and many community partners and stakeholders.
