Healthy Active Children

In 2005, the North Carolina State Board of
Education passed the Healthy Active Children
Policy. The State Board recently updated the
policy to reduce obesity and address hunger.
The policy includes the following:
Local education agencies (LEAs) should

establish a School Health Advisory Council

(SHAC) of school, community and health
representatives, families and students.
SHACs should oversee the Healthy Active
Children Policy, Local Wellness Policy
(LWP) and coordinated school health.
LEAs should have a LWP that includes goals
for nutrition education and promotion,
physical activity, and other activities to
promote student wellness.
K-8 schools should offer 30 minutes of
physical activity every day. Elementary
schools should move toward 150
minutes/week of physical education and
middle schools 225 minutes/week of health
education with certified teachers.
Recess and physical activity should not be
taken away as a form of punishment.
LEAs should have guidelines for all foods
and beverages on campus, offer healthy
food/beverage options for students, limit
marketing to only healthy foods/beverages,
offer nutrition education and choose options
other than food to reward students.
LEAs should evaluate progress, complete
annual reports, and share the results.
