School
Nutrition & Physical Activity Policy Committee
At
the request of the Mount Vernon School Board, the Mount Vernon
Healthy Communities Project brought together a diverse group of
parents, the food services supervisor, school administrators,
interested members of the community, students, and parents to
develop a new nutrition and physical activity policy for the school
district. The group reviewed polices from other school districts,
discussed barriers and opportunities for improving healthy nutrition
and physical activity, shared policy changes they would like in
Mount Vernon, and drafted a policy that was adopted by the
school board in June.
