Book excerpt: This brief report updates data published in August 2010 from the most comprehensive, ongoing nationwide analysis of written wellness policies. It includes data from the 2006-07 through the 2010-11 school years, which were the first five years following the required implementation date for wellness policies. The major findings and trends presented identify areas where progress has been made in adopting and strengthening the written policies, as well as opportunities for improvement. New to this report are data relating to the reporting and assessment provisions required by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. These data are especially relevant to USDA's (U.S. Department of Agriculture's) proposed rule for competitive foods and beverages, which was released in February 2013, and to the forthcoming proposed rule from USDA related to wellness policies. They also may help inform USDA's efforts to provide technical assistance to school districts regarding their wellness policies, which is required by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. In addition, this report helps inform future policies for preventing childhood obesity and will be useful to advocates and state and local officials seeking to create a healthier school environment. This report highlights progress that has been made to implement, strengthen, and/or increase the comprehensiveness of the required wellness policy elements between school years 2006-07 and 2010-11. Consistent with prior reports, the data presented in this paper represent the percentage of students enrolled in public school districts nationwide. (Contains 4 figures and 4 tables.).

Book Synopsis The Status of School Wellness Policies in Minnesota Public Schools by : Pamela K. Hoffman
Download or read book The Status of School Wellness Policies in Minnesota Public Schools written by Pamela K. Hoffman and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools are uniquely suited for obesity prevention interventions. In recognition of this opportunity, each school participating in federal nutrition programs is required by federal law to enact a local school wellness policy. This study assessed the strength and comprehensiveness of 143 school wellness policies in a stratified, random sample of Minnesota public school districts, examining also relationships between school policy quality and district-level demographic variables. Overall, policies scored low in strength and moderate in comprehensiveness. Scores related to policy evaluation were the strongest and scores related to USDA school meal program standards were the most comprehensive, while scores related to physical education/activity were the weakest and least comprehensive. Higher percentages of students eligible for free and reduced-price meals in school districts predicted higher school wellness strength and comprehensive scores. No significant relationships were found between policy total strength and comprehensiveness scores and geographic locale, minority enrollment, or total student enrollment.
Book Synopsis Effects of State and Federal Legislation on a Sample of Local Public School District Wellness Policy Scores Over Time by : Alexandra E. Kaufman
Download or read book Effects of State and Federal Legislation on a Sample of Local Public School District Wellness Policy Scores Over Time written by Alexandra E. Kaufman and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School district wellness policies (SDWP) may provide guidance to schools seeking to improve and maintain healthy learning environments throughout the United States. State and federal legislation and regulations influence the creation, maintenance, and revision of local SDWP. To examine the strength and comprehensiveness of local SDWP content categories, the changes in those characteristics over time, and the associations between changes in SDWP over time and concurrent changes to state and federal legislation and regulation. An observational sample of 19 SDWPs that were in effect over three periods between 2006 - 2014 within a single county of Washington State were scored using the Wellness School Assessment Tool (WellSAT). Content areas of strength and comprehensiveness were compared across time periods. Policy events were divided into three time periods: 2004-2006, 2006- 2010, and 2011-2014. All districts released a SDWP within the 2004-2006 time period when state and federal legislation required the adoption of the policies; in general, more districts updated policies between 2011 and 2014 when changes were required and policies were monitored by state education agencies than in the previous period when policy updates were suggested but not required. SDWP often did not meet recommendations for optimal school health. Because they influence the development and implementation of local school district wellness policies, changes to federal and state policies and practices offer opportunities to improve the daily environments of school children. This study demonstrates that clear and definitive legislative language is required to encourage positive change in SDWP.

Download or read book A Descriptive Study of School Wellness Policy Quality and Implementation, and Associations with School District Characteristics in San Diego County written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction Childhood obesity is a major public health concern. Schools are uniquely positioned to positively affect childhood obesity. School districts are required to have a school wellness policy. In 2016, the most recent federal mandate regarding school wellness policies strengthened the communication, implementation, transparency and evaluation component requirements. Previous research has conveyed the need to study implementation in addition to school wellness policy quality. Purpose The purpose of the study was to describe the quality (strength and comprehensiveness) of school wellness policies and implementation of those policies in San Diego county school districts and to determine if there is an association between them. Additionally, this study explored if a relationship exists between school wellness policies, implementation and district characteristics (total enrollment, percentage of students eligible for free and reduced priced meals and ethnicity). Methods This study utilized a cross sectional design. The WellSAT 2.0 was used to assess the quality of school wellness policies. A novel tool was created to analyze implementation of policies based on evidence from school district websites, and was modeled after the WellSAT 2.0. All school district characteristic data were collected from Ed-Data.org for the school year 2016-2017. Results School Wellness Policy total comprehensiveness score was 56.2%, while total strength was 30.4%. Implementation total comprehensiveness was 46.3%, while total strength was 25.5%. No significant relationship was found between the quality of school wellness policies and implementation or between policy quality and various district demographic characteristics. A significant relationship was found between implementation scores and total enrollment. School districts with a dedicated wellness coordinator had higher average policy and implementation scores than districts without. Conclusion Study results will help guide improvements to school wellness policies and implementation transparency in San Diego county by providing an assessment of all San Diego county school districts. Findings suggest that policy and implementation may not be effected by school district demographic characteristics, suggesting equal wellness efforts across diverse districts. Further efforts are needed to develop federal and state level funding and accountability for school district wellness policies and implementation.
Book Synopsis Stakeholder Perspectives by : Adrienne A. Wallace
Download or read book Stakeholder Perspectives written by Adrienne A. Wallace and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.

Download or read book Local School Wellness Policies written by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (DHHS/PHS) and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 4 pages. 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: 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 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.

This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our nation's youth face health challenges today that are drastically different from the health problems of youth in generations past. The drastic rise in childhood obesity rates prompted the 108th Congress to look for an innovative solution to the problem, mandating that each school district receiving federal funding for Free and Reduced Lunch must create and adopt a local wellness policy. This study examines whether relationships exist between Georgia's school districts' wellness policies and specific demographic characteristics of the district. Dependent variables include compliance, phase of implementation, and presence of a school health council. This study conducted univariate analysis using chi square and odds ratio coupled with binary logistic regression. Analysis shows that percent of minority students, as an independent variable, is significantly associated with compliance with the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act.
