Wellness Policy
WELLNESS POLICY #8510
Each local educational agency that participates in the National School Lunch Program is required by federal law to establish a local school wellness policy for all schools under its jurisdiction.
Local wellness policies are an important tool for parents, local educational agencies, and school districts in promoting wellness, preventing and reducing childhood obesity, and providing assurance that school meal nutrition guidelines meet the minimum federal school meal standards.
The wellness policy is a plan and common understanding of how schools help to make the healthy choice the easy choice at school. The wellness policy is updated periodically and parents, school staff, and the community all take part in creating it to ensure that everyone's voice is heard.
