The school wellness committee is the advisory group that is concerned with the health and wellbeing of students and staff. The Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010 requires that a wellness committee be formed at the district level and include representation from each school building. 

School wellness committees bring school staff, families, students and community members together to address pressing student health issues. They also may:

• Advise the school board/district on school/community health issues
• Coordinate efforts and programs that exist in the district and the community
• Identify student/staff health needs
• Monitor and evaluate implementation of district health and wellness policies and programs
• Work on grant funded programs to promote student and staff wellness
• Plan regional Wellness Trainings for faculty and staff
