What is the School Wellness Policy?

District level writes their own SWP to be followed by schools District sets at least 3 wellness goals each school year Schools follow the SWP and work towards meeting the wellness goals

set by the district Read your district’s wellness policy

Update on Current School Wellness

All district’s, RCCI’s, and charters have up to date SWP Should all have wellness committees or advisory groups also Serving on the committee is a great idea

You see a lot working in food service with what the kids like or throw away.
