School Wellness Policy: Guidance for Montana Schools

With the passing of the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004, school districts that participate in federally subsidized child nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Special Milk Program and AfterSchool Snack Program) were required to adopt a local school wellness policy. Most schools had this policy in place by the beginning of the 2006-2007 school year. The resources found on this website will help school districts in implementing, evaluating and updating these policies so that the school environment supports healthy nutrition and opportunity for physical activity for all.
