The goal of this two-day workshop in September 2005 was to provide School Health Advistory Councils (SHACs) with information and resources to develop and implement local wellness policies. Congress recognized that schools play a critical role in promoting student health, preventing childhood obesity, and combating problems associated with poor nutrition and physical inactivity. To formalize and encourage this role, Congress included language in the Child Reauthorization Act of 2004 that requires each school district participating in the National School Lunch and/or Breakfast Program to establish a local wellness policy by the beginning of the 2006-2007 school year. The 2005 workshop included the materials listed below.
