Background: In 2019, the Department of Nutrition Services (DNS) conducted an Administrative Review. Out of that review, it was determined that Administrative Policy and Procedure 4.07: Student Nutrition & Wellness required updates to be in compliance with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulations. Specifically, updates were needed regarding the USDA’s rule regarding the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program: Nutrition Standards for All Food Sold in School as Required by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.

The Department of Nutrition Services, and Core Health Team, reviewed the policy and procedure and made the suggested revisions. The Administration is proposing revisions that remove outdated physical fitness processes/evaluations and adds Smart Snacks language, setting nutrition standards for all food sold in schools. In addition, revisions are proposed to encourage the creation of an environment within schools that reinforces and promotes development of healthy eating. The updates also reflect the Department of Nutrition Services continued commitment to offering wholesome food as evidenced by our partnership with the Lifetime Foundation.
Fiscal Impact Statement: This item does not authorize expenditures.
Implementation and Assessment Plan Upon approval by the Board, the Office of Board Governance will update Administrative Policy and Procedure 4.07: Student Nutrition & Wellness.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the Board approve the proposed revisions to Administrative Policy and Procedure 4.07: Student Nutrition & Wellness.
