District named Florida Healthy School District

The Lee County School District was recently recognized as a Florida Healthy School District at the gold level.

The award is based on the submission of the Florida Healthy School District Self-Assessment, a tool based on sustainable infrastructure, policy, programs and practices identified from national and state guidelines, best practices and Florida statutes.

It was developed by the Florida Coordinated School Health Partnership to recognize and celebrate the work of school districts related to physical, mental and social health of students and staff.

The district received outstanding scores related to policies and processes in areas, including health services; healthy school environment, which reflects both the physical plant as well as the social climate of the district; employee wellness; and family and community involvement, which is key to garnering support and resources from community members.

The district will hold the award from May through April 2019.
