Student Wellness: A Healthy Food and Physical Activity Policy Resource Guide
Developed in collaboration with the California School Boards Association, this policy resource guide is designed for use by school board members and school administrators who want to positively affect the health of students. The guide, which was created based on feedback from school board members and superintendents, offers a step-by-step approach for creating a healthy school environment so students can practice healthy eating habits while at school.
The guide outlines the link between nutrition, physical activity and learning; addresses the nutritional and physical activity status of children and youth; highlights school districts that are successfully offering healthy foods and beverages; offers recommendations for comprehensive nutrition and physical activity policies and provides sample school district policies and tools.
