FPS District Wellness Committee

FPS District Wellness Advisory Committee

Framingham Public Schools as a District Wellness Advisory Committee that meets 4-5 times per school year to discuss current health issues affecting the Framingham Public Schools community, set health related goals based on community health trends, and reviews the district Wellness Policy. 

The FPS Wellness Advisory Committee consists of a diverse group of individuals representing a variety of fields and roles within health and wellness including but not limited to: nutrition professionals, medical professionals, mental health professionals, local public health representatives and community partners, FPS educators, school committee membership, district administrators, and adolescent health.

The FPS Wellness Advisory Committee is responsible for the development and triennial review of the Local Wellness Policy which is required by law for all Local Educational Agencies enrolled in the National School Lunch and/or National School Breakfast programs. The existing Local Wellness Policy was last reviewed during the 2024-2025 school year and approved by the Framingham Public School Committee in Open Session on March 26, 2025. A copy of the wellness policy can be found here.

A three year re-assessment of the policy will be completed during the 2026-2027 school year. Additional information on how to provide feedback on the policy will be provided in district communications. The FPS Wellness Advisory Committee is open to members of the community who would like to join. More information on sharing feedback or joining can be obtained by contacting Courtney Balacco, Executive Director of Student Supports at cbalacco@framingham.k12.ma.us
