Committee hears minor revisions to wellness policy (SS‑42) to meet state nutrition requirements
Summary
Finance staff presented two minor revisions to the district wellness policy (SS‑42) to comply with state Department of Education nutrition and wellness directions, including reordering a sentence about food "served but not sold" and adding a link to the triennial assessment; staff said the changes bring the policy into compliance before the June 30 deadline.
Staff told the committee June 12 that two small revisions to the district wellness policy (SS‑42) were required by the state Department of Education to meet health and nutrition regulations.
The revisions are procedural: moving language about food "served but not sold" to a different section of the policy and incorporating a direct link to the district’s triennial wellness assessment. Staff described the wellness coordinator role, the health advisory committee and goals for the coming year, including identifying a wellness champion at every school and encouraging participation in a wellness awards program that can net small grants for schools that document activities.
Staff emphasized the changes were informational and intended to keep the district in compliance with state rules; no board action was required in committee.
