W. Va. Code R. § 126-85-133

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section 126-85-133 - Comprehensive County Nutrition Plan

133.1. To accomplish its goals, school nutrition programs must become an integral part of the total school curriculum. A broad spectrum of school and community representatives need to work collaboratively to create and strengthen the links between nutrition services and the curriculum. WVBE Policy 4321.1, Standards for School Nutrition, requires that a comprehensive county plan be developed to address: establishing a wellness environment; providing professional development; and establishing on-going evaluation.

133.2. The plan outlines the county's direction, priorities and activities related to implementing standards set forth in the policy. At the discretion of the county, this plan may include a statement of need; goals, strategies and resources to address identified needs; and evaluation procedures.

133.3. A broad-based committee or advisory council comprised of, but not limited to, health care providers, food service personnel, teachers, students and educational administrators, is responsible for developing the county plan. If the development of the plan can be more effectively accomplished through other county planning activities, such as the Unified County Improvement Plan, a separate nutrition plan is not required. However, the development of such a plan must include all participants specified in WVBE Policy 4321.1, Standards for School Nutrition.
