This guide provides information and implementation guidance for establishing a healthy school team to address the Coordinated School Health approach. The guide describes how staff wellness programs can be used to address physical activity, smoking cessation, and stress management to promote healthy habits for staff.

The model policy is designed to comply with USDA and Florida Administrative Code requirements regarding local school wellness policies and provides guidance and recommendations for school districts developing and implementing local school wellness policies. The model policy requires providing staff with opportunities to participate in physical activities and healthy eating programs for free or at low-cost. Staff will also be encouraged to participate in 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity every week.
