District presents draft Local Wellness Plan to comply with federal and state requirements
Summary
Salt Creek SD 48 presented a draft Local Wellness Plan developed using the Illinois State Board of Education template; the plan references the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA) and sets triennial assessment requirements beginning in 2025.
The board packet included the Salt Creek School District 48 Local Wellness Plan drafted to meet federal and state requirements for districts participating in the National School Lunch and Breakfast programs. The memorandum notes the Healthy, Hunger‑Free Kids Act of 2010 requires a written local school wellness policy for sponsors of school meal programs and references 7 CFR 210.31(c) and USDA guidance.
The draft plan outlines governance and committee membership, nutrition standards that meet USDA meal patterns and Smart Snacks rules, nutrition education and promotion, physical‑activity expectations aligned to Illinois Learning Standards, and a triennial assessment schedule beginning in 2025. The district invites public involvement in plan development and will post the policy and triennial assessment materials on the district website.
