Healthier Schools: A Brighter Tomorrow. Evidenced-Based Practices to Jump Start Ohio School Wellness Plans
Ohio Department of Education
This report was compiled by the School Physical Fitness and Wellness Advisory Council. House Bill 66 created this council to provide guidance to school districts in developing and implementing wellness policies and plans. The council was charged with developing best practice guidelines regarding nutrition education and physical activity for students, researching school-based activities and school-business partnerships that promote wellness, and finding methods for schools to evaluate these efforts. In preparing this report, the council brought together diverse perspectives from varying stakeholders, including numerous wellness advocates and Ohio high school students. The best practice models gathered for this report, as well as the assistance of Ohio Department of Education (ODE) wellness trainers located throughout the state, can guide school districts in establishing realistic wellness policies and effective plans.
