Is a Wellness Plan and Nutrition Education required by all schools in Alabama? The “Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010” made it a requirement that all school districts and individual schools maintain and enforce a Wellness Plan. As of July 1, 2014, the new “Smart Snacks in Schools” regulation issued by the USDA clearly defines what items may be sold during the school.

Who does each individual school Principal need to contact to schedule Nutrition Education at their school? Please email or call Mrs. Stephanie McMurry to schedule a time for her to come out to your school. Stephanie McMurry is the CNP Program’s RD, LD.
