Are School Wellness Policies Stuck In The Ice Age?
The Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act, 2004, requires that all school districts have a Wellness Policy if they participate in federal school meal programs. As part of the Wellness Policy, schools are mandated to include nutrition education activities which promote student wellness. A study in the July/August issue of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior evaluates elementary teachers’ overall acceptance and implementation of nutrition competencies in the classroom as part of their School Wellness Policy.
