Is the Food Service Administrator responsible for the development and implementation of the Local School Wellness Policy?
No. The Local Wellness Policy is a joint effort on the part of each school/ school district to evaluate and establish nutritional and physical education policies. A school health council made up of individuals from school and community leaders should propose a wellness policy to the school board for consideration and approval. Local Food Service Administrators should be a part of the school health council and should assist in the development of the local wellness policy, but the Food Service Administrator should not be given the sole responsibility to develop and implement the districts local wellness policy.
