      2. 
         The Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act: Guidelines for snacks in schools and school lunch. School fundraisers – voted on extending a limited exemption on the school fundraisers for 1 year for certain days. These number of exemption days look different for different school level (what snacks can be sold, when during the day, etc.). To create a way to generate school fundraising revenue through different means than through “junk” food. To model the behaviors we want to see in our schools. Challenge to the members of the SHAC to be creative in creating mechanisms that are more healthful. This information has been sent out to all schools: Have to form “healthy” teams in all schools to address all the issues that go along with wellness. There needs to be evidence of convening those committees. From beginning of school to 30 minutes after the last lunch period is when they can set up fundraising. Wellness to send out the notes on that policy, as well as the policy on what teachers can use as rewards/punishments (can no longer use food).

      The 2014-2015 School Health Services Plan has been created. To be discussed in the subcommittee first, and then to be brought to the SHAC. Part of the 8 requirements of the SHAC. SHAC is required to participate in the creation of this document. It is up for annual review. It incorporates: addressing the plan for delivering health services, communicable disease policies, health services reporting policies, public health, supervision of all school health services personnel, and many more. These are just a few types of information that are included in the report.

      YRBS: Success story - Drug Free Duval is the facilitator. Community task force wanted to do something to encourage parents, since parents have an influence on their kids. They established a team to encourage parents (through education) to positively influence their students. They created documents that educate on the development and health of the teen brain. Encouraged parents to eat with kids 4 days a week – 1 family is receiving 4 meals a week at some partnered restaurants through a prize drawing. Kids made “positive” texts for parents to give to kids, and a video about positive influence.
