Building a Healthy District

This webpage describes the Florida Healthy School Districts recognition, awarded to Florida school districts based on assessment of the alignment of their current policies, practices, and procedures to the WSCC model. The Florida Healthy School District Collaborative, facilitated by the Florida Departments of Education and Health, support school districts' efforts to develop and strengthen WSCC infrastructure.

Florida Statutes 1003.453 School wellness and physical education policies; nutrition guidelines.

(3) School districts are encouraged to provide basic training in first aid, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation, for all students, beginning in grade 6 and every 2 years thereafter. Instruction in the use of cardiopulmonary resuscitation must be based on a nationally recognized program that uses the most current evidence-based emergency cardiovascular care guidelines. The instruction must allow students to practice the psychomotor skills associated with performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use an automated external defibrillator when a school district has the equipment necessary to perform the instruction. Private and public partnerships for providing training or necessary funding are encouraged.
