Overweight children are at a higher risk for developing severe long-term health problems, and overweight children are affected by discrimination, psychological stress, and low self-esteem. However, research indicates that obesity and subsequent diseases are largely preventable through diet and regular physical activity. Research also indicates that becoming physically active and maintaining a regular physical activity program significantly reduces the risk of some obesity and some cancers, diabetes and other chronic diseases. Children who eat well-balanced meals and are healthy are more likely to learn in the classroom. The board supports increased emphasis on nutrition as well as physical activity at all grade levels to enhance the well-being of our districts youth. Therefore, it is the policy of the Bboard to: Provide students access to nutritious food; Provide opportunities for physical activity and developmentally appropriate exercise; and Provide accurate information related to these topics. (Insert here the local school nutrition and physical fitness policy developed with the appropriate stakeholders. The local policy must include the following provisions: Goals for nutrition education, physical activity, and other school-based activities that are designed to promote school wellness in a manner that the district determines is appropriate; Nutrition guidelines selected by the district for all foods available on each school campus during the school day with the objectives of promoting student health and reducing childhood obesity; Assurances that guidelines for reimbursable school meals are not less restrictive than the regulations and guidance issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA); A plan for measuring how effectively the school wellness policy is being implemented, including designation of one or more persons at the district level or at each school with operational responsibility for ensuring that the school is meeting the policy; and Involvement of parents, students, representatives of the school food authority, the school board and school administrators, and the public in developing the wellness policy. Below are our recommendations. We have highlighted the provisions in our sample policy that reflect current laws regarding nutrition and physical fitness that you may want to include in your policy.)

The board authorizes the superintendent to administer the food services program, provided that any decision to enter into a contract with a private food service agency shall require the approval of the board. Expenditures for food supplies shall not exceed the estimated revenues. Because of the potential liability of the district, the food services program shall not accept donations of food other than as provided in this policy without the expressed approval of the board.
