Dallas ISD 057905 STUDENT WELFARE FFA WELLNESS AND HEALTH SERVICES (REGULATION)

DATE ISSUED: 8/20/2018 1 of 24 LDU 2018.09 FFA(REGULATION)-X

This document, referred to as the “wellness plan” (the plan), is in-

tended to implement policy FFA(LOCAL), which has been adopted

by the Board to comply with the requirements for a school wellness

policy. [Section 9A(a) of the National School Lunch Act (NSLA), 42

U.S.C. 1758b; 7 C.F.R. Part 210.]

Federal law requires that certain stakeholders be involved in the

development, implementation, and periodic review and update of

the wellness policy. The District has chosen to use the local school

health advisory council (SHAC) to work on behalf of the District to

review and consider evidence-based strategies and techniques in

order to develop and implement nutrition guidelines and wellness

goals as required by federal law. The SHAC will permit the follow-

ing persons to work with the SHAC on the District’s wellness policy

and plan: parents, students, the District’s food service provider,

physical education teachers, school health professionals, Board

members, administrators, and members of the public.

Each campus principal is responsible for the implementation of

FFA(LOCAL) and this wellness plan at his or her campus, including

the submission of necessary information to the SHAC for evalua-

tion.

The Superintendent or designee is the District official responsible

for the overall implementation of FFA(LOCAL), including the devel-

opment of this wellness plan and any other appropriate administra-

tive procedures, and ensuring that each campus complies with the

policy and plan.

At least every three years, as required by law, the District will

measure and make available to the public the results of an assess-

ment of the implementation of the District’s wellness policy, the ex-

tent to which each campus is compliant with the wellness policy, a

description of the progress made in attaining the goals of the well-

ness policy, and the extent to which the wellness policy compares

with any state- or federally designated model wellness policies.

This will be referred to as the “triennial assessment.”

Annually, the District will notify the public about the content and im-

plementation of the wellness policy and plan and any updates to

these materials.

The SHAC will consider evidence-based strategies when setting

and evaluating goals and measurable outcomes. The SHAC may

use any of the following tools for this analysis:

The District-developed FFA(EXHIBIT) Wellness Policy Check-

list

To comply with the legal requirement to annually inform and update

the public about the content and implementation of the local well-

ness policy, the District will create a wellness page on its website to

document information and activity related to the school wellness

policy, including:

1. A copy of the wellness policy [see FFA(LOCAL)];

2. A copy of this wellness plan, with dated revisions;

3. Notice of any Board revisions to policy FFA(LOCAL);

4. The District official responsible for the oversight of the well-

ness policy and implementation of this plan: Barbara John-

son, Director of Urban School Wellness, (972) 925-6790;

5. Notice of any SHAC meeting at which the wellness policy or

corresponding documents are scheduled to be discussed;

6. The SHAC’s triennial assessment; and

7. Any other relevant information.

The District will also publish the above information in appropriate

District or campus publications.

Records regarding the District’s wellness policy will be retained in

accordance with law and the District’s records management pro-

gram. Questions may be directed to the Executive Director of Op-

erations, the District’s designated records management officer.

The following provisions describe the District’s nutrition guidelines

and activities and objectives chosen by the SHAC to implement the

Board-adopted wellness goals in policy FFA(LOCAL).

All District campuses participate in the U.S. Department of Agricul-

ture’s (USDA’s) child nutrition programs, including the National

School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program

(SBP). Federal law requires that the District establish nutrition

guidelines for foods and beverages sold to students during the

school day on each campus that promote student health and re-

duce childhood obesity.

The District’s nutrition guidelines are to ensure all food and bever-

ages sold or marketed to students during the school day adhere to

all federal regulations and guidance and are designed to promote

student health and reduce childhood obesity.

Public Notification

Records Retention

Guideline and Goals

Nutrition Guidelines



The District will comply with federal requirements for reimbursable

meals. For other foods and beverages sold to students during the

school day, the District will comply with the federal requirements for

competitive foods. Competitive foods and beverages are not part

of the regular meal programs and occur through sales such as a la

carte options or vending machines. For purposes of this plan,

these requirements will be referred to as “Smart Snacks” standards

or requirements. The following have information regarding meal

and Smart Snacks requirements:

Nutrition Standard2

Smart Snacks3

Square Meals (see the Administrator Reference Manual

[ARM], Section 20, Competitive Foods)4

The District has also incorporated the following stricter standard

that is not prohibited by federal or state law:

No preparation of food by deep fat frying.

State rules adopted by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA)

allow an exemption to the Smart Snacks requirements for up to six

days per year per campus when a food or beverage is sold as part

of a District fundraiser. [See CO(LEGAL)]

The District will allow the following exempted fundraisers for the

2017–21 school years:

Campus or

Organization

Food / Beverage Number of Days

Dallas ISD Campus-level

discretion

6 days

per campus

per year

There are no federal or state restrictions for foods or beverages

provided, but not sold, to students during the school day. However,

each school district must set its own standards. The District will

comply with state law, which allows a parent or grandparent to pro-

vide a food product of his or her choice to classmates of the per-

son’s child or grandchild on the occasion of the student’s birthday

or to children at a school-designated function. [See CO(LEGAL)]

In addition, the District has established the following local stand-

ards for foods and beverages made available to students:

https://www.fns.usda.gov/school-meals/tools-schools-focusing-smart-snacks

http://www.squaremeals.org/Publications/Handbooks.aspx



Elementary school: Competitive foods are not allowed in el-

ementary schools during the regular or extended school day if

state or federally funded.

Middle/junior high school: Competitive foods are allowed

30 minutes after the end of the last lunch period in middle

school.

High school: High school competitive foods are not allowed

before school or during meal periods with the exception of the

Career and Technology Education Marketing Stores. All com-

petitive foods sold in permitted Career and Technology Mar-

keting Stores and vending machines or given away must

comply with state and federal nutrition standards and portion-

size limits. [See COB(REGULATION)]

The District will measure compliance with the nutrition guidelines

by reviewing meal reimbursement submissions from the child nutri-

tion department to the TDA, reviewing foods and beverages that

are sold in competition with the regular school meals, reviewing

items sold as part of approved District fundraisers, and monitoring

the types of foods and beverages made available to students dur-

ing the school day.

Federal law requires that the District establish goals for nutrition

promotion in its wellness policy. The District’s nutrition promotion

activities will encourage participation in the NSLP, the SBP, and

any supplemental food and nutrition programs offered by the Dis-

trict.

The District will ensure that any food and beverage advertisements

marketed to students during the school day meet the Smart

Snacks standard.

The SHAC will monitor this by:

1. Recommending the continued use of FFA(EXHIBIT), Well-

ness Policy Checklist, at all campuses to be completed by the

principal and parent representative; and

2. Reviewing and evaluating FFA(EXHIBIT), Wellness Policy

Checklist data.

Although the District is not required to immediately remove or re-

place food and beverage advertisements on items such as menu

boards or other food service equipment, or on scoreboards or gym-

nasiums, the SHAC will periodically monitor these and make rec-

ommendations when replacements or new contracts are consid-

ered.
