School Policies?
Local Wellness Policy?
(a) IN GENERAL - Not later than the first day of the school year beginning after June 30, 2006, each local education agency participating in a program authorized by the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C.1751 et seq.) or the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1771 et seq.) shall establish a local school wellness policy for schools under the local educational agency that, at a minimum—
1) Includes goals for nutrition education, physical activity and other school- based activities that are designed to promote student wellness in a manner that the local educational agency determines is appropriate…
LWP in simple(r) words
• Every school district that participates in the federal school meals program must have a wellness policy.
• The school district policies must address nutrition, physical activity, and “student wellness.”
• Local school wellness policies should involve STUDENTS (and some other people)
• Since wellness policies are LOCAL, Congress has created the potential to engage the entire community in issues of nutrition and health.
