Making School Wellness Policies Work

Friday, February 16, 2007
12 noon-1:30pm EST/11am-12:30pm CST/10am-11:30am MST/9am-10:30am PST

Beginning with the 2006-2007 school year, federal law requires each local school district participating in federally funded school meals programs—nearly every school district in the country—to establish a local wellness policy. Wellness policies must include goals for nutrition education, physical activity, standards for healthy school foods, and other school-based activities designed to promote student wellness.  This webcast will acquaint listeners with wellness policy requirements, explain their preventive potential, provide a state legislative perspective on wellness policies and a focus on successful implementation of local policies. 

Speakers: 
David Satcher, MD, Former U.S. Surgeon General, Founding Chair-Action for Healthy Kids
Illinois State Senator Iris Y. Martinez, Chief Co-Sponsor Illinois School Wellness Legislation 
Jacqueline Barnett, Secretary of Education, City of Philadelphia  
Dara Bass, Director of Policy Services, Kentucky School Boards Association & Colleagues
Joy Rockenbach, Act 1220 Program Consultant, Arkansas Department of Education
