Policies
School food, nutrition, and physical activity policies are excellent ways that schools and school districts can institutionalize their commitment to providing students with the tools and knowledge they need to live healthy lives now and in the future. Many schools and districts have already passed their own nutrition policies. Here you can read these policies and think about the needs in your own community and what your schools can offer. Every student needs and deserves access to nutrition education, healthy meals, and physical activity, a food policy is one way in which schools can help ensure that this is provided for the students of today and tomorrow.
