Book excerpt: Local School Wellness Policy Implementation under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (US Food and Nutrition Service Regulation) (FNS) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Local School Wellness Policy Implementation under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (US Food and Nutrition Service Regulation) (FNS) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This final rule requires all local educational agencies that participate in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs to meet expanded local school wellness policy requirements consistent with the requirements set forth in section 204 of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. The final rule requires each local educational agency to establish minimum content requirements for the local school wellness policies, ensure stakeholder participation in the development and updates of such policies, and periodically assess and disclose to the public schools' compliance with the local school wellness policies. These regulations are expected to result in local school wellness policies that strengthen the ability of a local educational agency to create a school nutrition environment that promotes students' health, well-being, and ability to learn. In addition, these regulations will increase transparency for the public with regard to school wellness policies and contribute to integrity in the school nutrition program.

Book excerpt: The Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 and, more recently, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 required all school districts participating in the federal Child Nutrition Programs (e.g., National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Special Milk Program, Afterschool Snack Program) to adopt and implement a local school wellness policy (i.e. wellness policy) beginning in school year 2006?-?2007. The wellness policies are required to include the following: (1) goals for nutrition promotion and education, physical activity (PA), and other activities that support student wellness; (2) nutrition guidelines for all foods and beverages available during the school day outside of school meals (i.e., competitive foods); (3) requirements to allow stakeholder involvement in policy development, implementation, and reporting and to update the community on policy content and implementation efforts; and (4) a provision to designate officials responsible for ensuring compliance. Bridging The Gap (BTG) provides the only nationally representative data on wellness policy progress and opportunities annually since the mandate took effect at the beginning of school year 2006?-?2007 along with the concomitant state laws. For the purposes of this study, "Wellness Policy" was defined to include the following: (1) the actual district wellness policy; (2) the associated administrative policies, including implementation regulations, rules, procedures, or administrative guidelines; and (3) any district, state, or other policies (e.g., state Board of Education model policies) that were incorporated by reference within the wellness policy or administrative documents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local school wellness policies (i.e., wellness policies) provide an opportunity to create and support a healthy school environment, promote student health, and reduce childhood obesity. Because they are required for all school districts participating in the federal Child Nutrition Programs including the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program, millions of children can be reached through implementation of these policies which focus on creating supportive school nutrition and physical activity environments. Research has documented that although almost all districts have adopted a wellness policy, they lack specificity related to competitive foods as well as requirements for implementation and compliance. The Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004, and more recently the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, required that school districts participating in the federal Child Nutrition Programs adopt, implement, and most recently, report on local school wellness policies. The following sections of this report highlight areas where policy opportunities exist, as well as areas where policies are well-established relative to the following wellness policy components: (1) nutrition education and promotion; (2) standards for competitive foods and beverages; (3) nutrition standards for school meals; (4) PA outside of physical education (PE); (5) PE; (6) stakeholder involvement; and (7) wellness policy monitoring, evaluation, and reporting. This brief summarizes the range of policy actions taken by public school districts from the 2011-2012 school year, from the Bridging the Gap (BTG) study. All policies were collected and coded by BTG researchers using a standardized method based on evidence based guidelines and recommendations from expert organizations and agencies. Complete details about how these data were collected and compiled are available in the companion methods documentation (see ED546842).

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore attitudes and perception of stakeholders (teachers, principals, nutrition service directors, nutrition service supervisors, school nurses, nutrition specialists and administrators) toward the implementation of the local school wellness policy in public schools within Kent County, Michigan. The subjects of interest were stakeholders from more than 300 schools and 20 public school districts within the Kent Intermediate School District. Subjects responded to a survey assessing their perspectives regarding the implementation of the local school wellness policy pursuant to the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 an Obama-era policy, the results were then examined using ANOVA and theoretical foundations of Policy Implementation Framework (PIF), Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF), and Multiple Streams Model (MSM). In this study, the author identifies the perceptions of stakeholders to bring about a more effective understanding of the consequences of an unfunded mandate that fuels local school wellness policy in Kent County. This study fills a gap in nutrition policy literature at the local/district level and demonstrates that there is a perception that school employees/staff responsibilities were negatively impacted by the HHFKA and that local school wellness policy lacked proper implementation due mostly to lack of training for stakeholders.

Book excerpt: Author's abstract: Childhood obesity has become an epidemic that can no longer be ignored. Obesity issues are being addressed through House Bill 108-265, under the provisions provided in Public Law 108-265, Section 2507; which requires school districts to develop local wellness policies. Local wellness policies include goals for nutrition education and physical activity, nutrition guidelines with the objectives of promoting student health and promoting the reduction of childhood obesity, meal reimbursement guidelines, a plan for measuring implementation, and input of multiple stakeholders. Although there have been many studies on the causes and costs of childhood obesity, less is known regarding the potential challenges to and benefits for implementing local wellness policies. The purpose of this study was to identify the challenges to and potential benefits for implementing local wellness polices in Georgia Public Schools. Data from this study were collected from nine in-depth interviews in three different school districts throughout the State of Georgia. The results of this study for potential benefits include an increase in nutritional offerings during school lunches, increased awareness on health related topics, increased health education and promotion, potential long-term health benefits, healthier more alert students including higher selfesteem, reduced stress, increased attendance and academic achievement; and an increase in physical activity including more recreation and physical education classes for students and staff. The results of this study for challenges to implementing local wellness policy include lack of time in parent and teacher schedules, teacher stress, vending sponsorships and profits, lack of training, lack of state and federal financial support, the availability of convenience and fast foods, costs associated with healthier foods, increased academic requirements and state mandates, and family and cultural values towards nutrition and physical activity. All district local wellness policies included the minimum necessary requirements under federal law; however, a disconnection was evident between implementation by district administrators and implementation in the schools. Consequently, although all districts had a written policy, there was a lack a plan for implementation at all levels. Based on this study, there is a need to help districts develop creative ways to incorporate the local wellness policy requirements into the instructional day, provide alternative ways to seek loss of vending profits, and lobby legislators to provide financial and technical support. Finally, there needs to be a clear understanding of the responsibilities of each stakeholder, a need to specifically identify the objectives and intended outcomes of local wellness policy implementation, and a plan for evaluation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study examined the extent to which schools participating in the School Health Policies and Programs Study (SHPPS) reported adopting wellness policies consistent with the minimum federal requirements of local wellness policies and the impact of contextual variables on wellness policy compliance. A model was created to examine the impact of school size, poverty level, urbanicity, perception of family involvement promotion, and wellness policy leadership. Although the model was not supported in the study, there were significant differences in wellness policy compliance between elementary and high schools. Further, wellness policy scores varied depending upon who completed the questionnaire. Implications of the findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004, the U.S. Congress established a 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. In response to requests for guidance on developing such policies, the National Alliance for Nutrition and Activity (NANA, see www.nanacoalition.org) convened a work group of more than 50 health, physical activity, nutrition, and education professionals from a variety of national and state organizations to develop a set of model policies for local school districts. The model nutrition and physical activity policies below meet the new federal requirement. This comprehensive set of model nutrition and physical activity policies is based on nutrition science, public health research, and existing practices from exemplary states and local school districts around the country. The NANA work group's first priority was to promote children's health and well-being. However, feasibility of policy implementation also was considered.

Book excerpt: The Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 mandated that school districts participating in any federally reimbursed school meal programs develop a local school wellness policy by the beginning of the 2006â€"07 school year. School districts were required to establish nutritional guidelines for all foods available on the school campus; assure that federally reimbursable school meals meet minimum USDA standards; and establish goals for nutrition education, physical activity and other school-based activities. While the federal mandate included some physical activity language, it did not include specific requirements for addressing physical education. As Congress works to reauthorize the federal legislation that included the local school wellness policy provision, there is real opportunity to help school districts address the nationâ€TMs childhood obesity epidemic. Nearly one-third of U.S. children and teens are now overweight or obese, which increases their risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and a host of other serious conditions. Policy-makers, researchers and advocates are looking for ways to make schools healthier by strengthening local wellness policies; updating nutrition standards for competitive foods, such as those offered in vending machines, à la carte lines and school stores; allowing more time for physical activity; and strengthening nutrition education and promotion efforts. This brief summarizes results of the preliminary evidence on the implementation of local school wellness policies and presents data in three key areas: quality, evaluation and funding of the policies; nutrition standards and nutrition education requirements; and physical activity requirements. While many of the published studies include school districts from across the nation, it is not clear that they accurately represent national data or trends. This brief will be updated as more evidence about the implementation and impact of these policies becomes available.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotional, physical and social well-being describe human health from birth. Good health goes hand in hand with the ability to handle stress for the future. However, biological factors such as diet, life experiences such as drug abuse, bullying, burnout and social factors such as family and community support at the school stage tend to mold health problems, affecting academic achievements. This book is a compilation of current scientific information about the challenges that students, families and teachers face regarding health and academic achievements. Contributions also relate to how physical activity, psychosocial support and other interventions can be made to understand resilience and vulnerability to school desertion. This book will be of interest to readers from broad professional fields, non-specialist readers, and those involved in education policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wellness policies can help schools prevent childhood obesity and promote health. Having coordinated the revision of a wellness policy at a local school district, the researcher observed the transition from a template-based to a locally developed policy. In this thesis, stakeholder participation, successes, and challenges of the revision process were analyzed; the quality of the policies were quantitatively compared using standardized tools WellSAT-96 and WellSAT; and an assessment plan was developed for the district. Challenges included disagreement among stakeholders and limiting policy focus, while successes included increased awareness and creation of an ongoing committee. Quantitative analysis of the policies revealed that the revised policy is of higher quality than the original in terms of language strength and comprehensiveness of goals. The assessment plan includes an annual survey of school principals, measurement of indicators, a list of wellness activities, and a report comparing the model policy to the revised policy. Recommendations were made regarding future policy revision. The intent of this work was to provide support to a local district implementing its wellness policy, as well as to provide a useful resource to other districts undergoing policy revision.

The model wellness policy developed by SDDOE meets the new federal requirement. It is based on science, research, and existing practices from exemplary states and local school districts around the country. The first priority of the work group was to promote children's health and well-being; however, feasibility of policy implementation was also considered. Components of this model include nutrition education, physical activity, and other school-based activities (i.e., eating environment, timing of recess, vending machines).
