Board gives first reading to updated school wellness policy after DPI review
Summary
The board completed a first reading of an updated district wellness policy reflecting DPI recommendations on nutrition promotion, food provided vs. sold, marketing and the USDA nondiscrimination statement.
Bonnie (last name not specified), presenting administrative recommendations from the district wellness committee and the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) administrative review, presented updates to the district’s wellness policy. The changes address nutrition promotion outside the school meal program, guidance on foods provided but not sold on campus, food and beverage marketing limitations, and an updated USDA nondiscrimination statement.
The updated policy text was included in the board packet and no substantive edits were reported since presentation at the June work session. A board member moved to approve the first reading of Wellness Policy No. 458 as updated; the motion was seconded and the board approved the first reading by voice vote.
As a first reading, the updated policy will return for second reading/approval at a subsequent meeting after any required public notice and committee follow-up.
