Nutrition Services The California Department of Education (CDE) provides leadership and support of nutrition services to enhance the health, well-being, development, and educational potential of California’s children, adults, and families. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction has made nutrition, health, and physical education a top priority during his tenure. His commitment to these issues is outlined in Healthy Children Ready to Learn, which is available on the Healthy Children Ready to Learn Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/51114. In addition, the CDE has actively pursued creative approaches to addressing childhood obesity and other health issues and has produced reports by the Superintendent’s Task Force on Obesity, Type II Diabetes, and Cardiovascular Disease and the Advisory Committee on Nutrition Implementation Strategies. Meal Programs In California, more than 4.5 million nutritious meals are served on average each day at approximately 45,000 locations funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through the National School Lunch, School Breakfast, Summer Food Service, and Child and Adult Care Food Programs. The CDE disburses approximately $1.6 billion in federal and state funds to support schools, child care centers, family day care homes, adult care centers, park and recreation centers, and other eligible agencies in providing nutritious meals and snacks. In addition, the CDE distributed $90 million in USDA-donated food to eligible public and private nonprofit agencies throughout the state for use in preparing meals. The CDE also administers the: • Special Milk Program, which assists schools, summer camps, and eligible agencies in providing over 4.3 million one-half pint servings of milk to children annually. • Commodity Supplemental Food Program, which monthly provides 53,000 low-income, breast-feeding mothers, pregnant women, children under age five, and the impaired elderly with USDA-donated foods designed to meet their nutritional needs. The CDE provides nutrition and food service education and training to child nutrition program operators and educators, collaborates with numerous education, health, and nutrition-allied organizations, and is affiliated with advocacy and professional organizations. A new federal law required districts participating in the National School Lunch or Breakfast Program to adopt a local school wellness policy by the beginning of the 2006-07 school year, and the CDE is providing leadership and resources to support implementation and evaluation of <strong>this</strong> new law. At a minimum, the policy must include: 82
• Goals for nutrition education, physical activity, and other school-based activities that are designed to promote student wellness • Nutrition guidelines for all foods available on each campus during the school day • A plan for measuring implementation of the wellness policy The law further requires that parents/guardians, students, school food service professionals, school administrators, school board members, and members of the public be involved in the development of the policy. In addition, the CDE is promoting the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables by providing $18.2 million in funding for school breakfast programs through the California Fresh Start Pilot Program. Over half of eligible schools are approved for participation. For more information regarding nutrition services, contact the Nutrition Services Division, at (916) 445-0850 or (800) 952-5609.
