Program Summary: With the passage of the 2004 Childhood Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act, school districts across the United States have been focused on developing and approving Local Wellness Policies for each local education agency (LEA.) Both the New York State Education Department and the Department of Health have resources aimed at assisting schools in both the development and implementation of local wellness policies. The aim is to create healthy school environments and increase the availability of healthy choices while combating obesity.

Survey results from schools that have worked with New York State’s Action for Healthy Kids’ SPIN (Schools and Professionals in Nutrition) program will be highlighted.
