Establish wellness committee, make information available on school district website, and work with benefits staff to understand how benefits is integrated with wellness.

- Work with district website coordinator to create wellness section on district website that is separate from curriculum links and easy to locate
- Shadow benefits coordinator to gain hands-on experience of work in this role that connects with the district’s health insurance provider and health risk assessment/bio-metric screen process, and to strategize how the offering can be better promoted and delivered to staff
