NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY BEST PRACTICES DATABASE (§ 22.1-16.4)

The Department of Education shall develop and maintain a nutrition and physical
activity best practices database. The database shall contain the results of any
wellness-related fitness testing done by local school divisions, as well as
information on successful programs and policies implemented by local school
divisions designed to improve nutrition and physical activity in the public
schools. This information may include (i) a description of the program or
policy, (ii) advice on implementation, (iii) any assessment of the program or
policy, (iv) a contact person from the local school division, and (v) any other
information the Department deems appropriate. The database shall be readily
accessible to all local school divisions in the Commonwealth and the Department
of Health. While the Board shall encourage local school divisions to submit
information to the database, no school division shall be required to submit
information.
