SFUSD's Board of Education resolved to rid the schools of soda and junk food begining with the 2003-04 school year.A district nutrition and physical activity committee was formed. A successful pilot program was started in a middle school where students were surveyed to determine the preferred choices of healthy foods. Policies were developed and approved in the summer of 2003.
The East Side Union High School District hoped to change eating behaviors and conform to the District's new nutritional focus. The District limited competitive food sales and decreased the anount of junk food sold at fundraising activities. The District also marketed the nutritious school lunch program by creating a promotional week of free meals for all students and staff and providing the nutritiious meals at reduced prices thereafter.
The District also drafted a physical activity policy and integrated innovative and slef competitive concepts into the PE program to provide opportunities for students to be physically active outside of PE Classes.
The goal of the district is to provide each student access to delicious, enjoyable and nutritious meals each day. The mission shall be accomplished through nutrition education, garden experiences, food served in schools and core academic content in the classroom.
