Action for Healthy Kids

Action for Healthy Kids is seeking as many examples of final and approved Local Wellness Policies (and their supporting regulations, guidelines etc.) as possible. Our goal with this effort is to better understand and be able to communicate what is in the policies and the plans for implementation and monitoring across the nation.

Thank you to all of you who have already submitted wellness policies. If you are aware of any final and approved policies that you have not submitted, please take a moment to e-mail them to Lorry Luscri (our intern from University of Michigan) at lorry@actionforhealthykids.org or fax them to her at 847-329-1849.

When sending the policy we ask that you include the following information.

  • The policy and supporting regulations, guidelines etc.
  • The name of the state and district for each policy sent
  • The size of the district (if known)

Thank you in advance for your help. If you have questions, please contact Nora Howley at nora@actionforhealthykids.org or 301-592-1271
