CCSBoE Policy Code: 6140 Student Wellness
The board acknowledges the paramount importance of students maintaining their physical well-being and receiving appropriate nutrition to maximize their educational prospects. It is further recognized that the well-being, growth, development, and academic readiness of students are intricately linked to their wellness and nutritional status. Thus, the board is steadfast in its commitment to cultivating a scholastic environment that actively fosters student well-being, proper nutrition, nutrition education, and regular physical activity as integral components of the holistic learning experience.
In pursuit of this commitment, the board charges the superintendent with the responsibility of overseeing the formulation, execution, and continuous assessment of this policy, as well as other initiatives within the school system aimed at promoting student health and physical activity. This includes compliance with the State Board of Education's Healthy Active Children Policy SHLT-000, as elaborated upon in Section H below. The superintendent may, at their discretion, appoint a school system official to serve as the lead wellness official in carrying out this mandate.
The superintendent or their designee is mandated to keep the most up-to-date version of this policy readily accessible to all members of the school community and the general public. This accessibility is achieved through posting the policy on the school system's official website and through annual dissemination via various effective channels to reach both the school community and the public. Additionally, upon request by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI), the superintendent or their designee shall promptly furnish a copy of this policy to ensure compliance and transparency.
