Model Local School Wellness Policies on Physical Activity and Nutrition (PDF)
By National Alliance for Nutrition and Activity , Ed.
March
2005
Summary: This document presents model nutrition and physical activity policies to meet the new requirement that all school districts with a federally-funded school meals program develop and implement wellness policies that address nutrition and physical activity by the start of the 2006-2007 school year. These policies are based on nutrition science, public health research, and existing practices from exemplary States and local school districts around the nation. School districts may use these model policies as written or revise them as needed to meet local needs and reflect community priorities. School districts need to consider socioeconomic status of the student body; school size; rural or urban location; and presence of immigrant, dual-language, or limited-English students when developing wellness policies.
