Ensuring Compliance with Local School Wellness Policies: The NSLP Administrative Review Process

Schools are vital in promoting health, preventing childhood obesity, and addressing diet-related diseases. The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act mandates each Local Education Agency (LEA) to create a comprehensive Local School Wellness Policy (LWP). State agencies will monitor these policies through the Administrative Review (AR) process, requiring documentation such as the current LWP, proof of public availability, and details on updates and stakeholder involvement. Compliance concerns are addressed with technical assistance, but no fiscal actions are taken for non-compliance.

  1. A look at LWP through The NSLP Administrative Review Process

  2. Intent/Scope of Monitoring • Schools play a critical role in promoting children’s health, preventing childhood obesity, and preventing diet-related chronic diseases. • The Healthy, Hunger Free-Kids Act requires each LEA to establish a comprehensive Local School Wellness Policy. State Agencies will monitor policies through the Administrative Review Process.

  3. Required Supporting Documentation • You will be required to submit the following during the administrative review process: • A copy of the current Local School Wellness Policy. • Documentation demonstrating the Local School Wellness Policy has been made available to the public. • Documentation of efforts to review and update the LWP including an indication of: • who is involved in the update • and of the methods the SFA uses to make stakeholders aware of their ability to participate. • A copy of the most recent assessment on the implementation of the LWP.

  4. Off-Site Assessment • The LWP is evaluated in the off-site portion of the AR- Questions 1000-1006. • This question set evaluates: • measurable goals for required areas. • nutrition guidelines. • plan for measuring implementation. • designation of one or more officials in charge of school compliance. • how stakeholders are made aware of the LWP and their ability to participate. • the most recent assessment of the policy. • that there is a wellness team in place.

  5. Compliance Issues • If SFA’s wellness policy is found to be non-compliant, technical assistance is offered and in some cases corrective action is required. • There is NO fiscal action associated with these findings.

  6. Thank you!
