The California School Boards Association and California Project LEAN have developed a new Student Wellness: A Healthy Food and Physical Activity Policy Resource Guide for school governance leaders. It was created based on feedback from school board members, superintendents. The Guide provides school governance leaders with a step-by-step approach to enhance the school environment so students can develop and practice healthy eating habits. The Guide outlines the link between nutrition, physical activity and learning; addresses the health status of children and youth; highlights school districts that successfully offer healthy foods and beverages; offers recommendations for a comprehensive nutrition and physical activity policy; and provides sample policies and resources.
