Burlington's Wellness Advisory Committee endorses revised K-12 health education policy aligned with 2023 frameworks. The committee, including School Committee members Melissa Massardo and Meaghan Nawoichik along with 16 other district and community representatives, took consensus action on Grade 6-8 standards during its April 29 meeting.
