USDA Releases Guidance on Wellness Policy Updates
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued a July 8, 2011 memorandum providing information on the new requirements for wellness policies that local education agencies must incorporate into their school year 2011-2012 plans. Wellness policies can help improve student health and prevent and reduce childhood obesity.
The memo covers key elements of local wellness policy; local discretion; and public involvement; along with implementation, periodic assessment, and public updates. For additional information, go to: http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/whatsnew.htm and find the July 8 memo.
