Section 126-85-132 - Integration and Involvement

132.1. Providing a school environment that promotes optional growth, health and education for all students requires the active involvement of the total school staff, parents and community members. CNP experience shows the positive effects of a collaborative approach to planning and delivering nutrition services and nutrition education. They include increased public awareness of the value of good nutrition and the role of school nutrition programs in enhancing students' health and learning; increased student acceptance of nutritious foods and dietary changes; and increased participation in school nutrition programs.

132.2. Both federal regulation and WVBE policy acknowledge the importance of cooperative planning and involvement. Each recognizes the value of local discretion in determining specific needs and strategies related to school, home and community involvement.

132.3. NSLP regulations require SFAs to conduct activities that involve students and parents in the school's nutrition programs. SFAs are to maintain documentation of such activities. WVBE Policy 4321.1, Standards for School Nutrition, requires a county plan for integrating nutrition services and the curriculum.
