Superintendent Coulson recognized Deputy Superintendent Glynn Walker who reported that the purpose for this Request for Proposal Health and Wellness Program is to maximize health and wellness opportunities for district employees, by minimizing employee cost and creating availability of school facilities for this program. Aerofit Health and Wellness Centers received the highest score from the committee and Aerofit’s proposal offers a variety of options including group exercise and personal training classes at CSISD and Aerofit facilities.

Trustees want the employees to know that the Board values staff and think the health and wellness initiative is very important and in the long run, will benefit the district on number of employee lost days. Health and Wellness are proactive and the Board congratulates administration on bringing forward a health and wellness initiative at this time.

The administration has worked with PAC and will continue to do so. Policy did not allow outside services to come into CSISD at a reduced rate and they would have to rent facilities. Since the district is initiating this project, there are options to promote healthy lifestyle and family, etc.
