- 4. A Fundamental Mission of schools is to promote healthy behaviors among students.
Editor's Notes
- How long have school wellness policies been in existence? President Bush signed the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act on June 30, 2004. This act required every school district that participated in the school lunch or school breakfast program to produce a local wellness policy. In Spring 2005, the USDA provided specific standards and deadlines to school districts. Local wellness policies allowed school districts to reach beyond the USDA-funded meal program to influence childhood health in other areas of the school like snacks, vending machines and concessions. Under terms of this Act, school districts were required to have a local wellness policy in place and begin implementation on the first day of classes after June 30, 2006. Last school year (2006-07) was the first year of implementation...school districts are now in Year 2 of implementation.
