The new Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-296) requires the District to periodically measure and compare their established policy against other model local school wellness policies. The Florida Healthy District Coordinated School Health website has put together a Florida School District Profiles webpage showing The School District of Palm Beach County as a Gold District (2016-2018) and compares other best Practices. The School District of Palm beach County is an active member of the Healthy District Collaborative (HDC).  The HDC is a group of districts that have made a high level commitment to meeting the health needs of students and staff in order to remove barriers to learning and maximize district resources.

In the 2015-2016 school year, the District coordinated again the application process for the Florida Healthy School District Assessment Tool that is provided by the Florida Coordinated School Health Partnership (CSHP), the Florida Action for Healthy Kids, and the Florida Association of District School Superintendents (FADSS) for the 2016-2018 recognition timeframe.  The District's infrastructure team for each Coordinated School Health component was updated and stakeholder meetings were organized, including members from the School Health Advisory Council, to review, discuss and complete the assessment tool application.  The District submitted its final application and all the verification documentation needed to the Office of Coordinated School Health of the Florida Department of Health and the Office of Healthy Schools from the Florida Department of Education on April 15, 2016 and the two year (2016-2018) achievement/recognition was announced in the Summer of 2016.
