Nov 21, 2012
The Chicago Board of Education recently acknowledged the critical intersection between student health and academic performance when it passed two new important policies:
The two policies establish an important framework for student wellness, including physical activity, quality PE, nutrition education, healthy food access, and recess.

The CPS Office of Student Health and Wellness will support schools in implementing the policies through school assessment, professional development and partner matching
