Requires school cafeteria managers to annually receive at least two hours of continuing education in applied nutrition and healthy meal planning and preparation.

Establishes fines and other sanctions for any public school that violates the school food nutrition requirements in section 4 of this bill.
Requires each school food service director to annually assess school nutrition in the district and issue a written report to parents, the local school board, and school-based decision making councils. The report must include:
(a) An evaluation of compliance with the National School Breakfast and National School Lunch programs;
(b) An evaluation of the availability of contracted fast foods or foods sold through commercial vendors;

(d) A list of foods and beverages that are available to students, including the nutritional value of those foods and beverages; and
(e) Recommendations for improving the school nutrition environment.
Requires the state board to develop an assessment tool that each school district may use to evaluate its physical activity environment. Requires the evaluation to be completed annually and released to the public at the same time as the school food service director's annual nutrition report. Requires every local board to discuss the findings of the nutrition report and physical activity report, seek public comments during a public meeting of the board, and annually hold an advertised public forum to present a plan to improve school nutrition and physical activities in the school district.
Requires each school council of an elementary school to develop and implement a wellness policy that includes moderate to vigorous physical activity each day and encourages healthy choices among students. The policy may permit physical activity to be considered part of the instructional day, up to 30 minutes per day, or 150 minutes per week. Each school council must adopt an assessment tool or utilize an existing assessment program to annually determine each child's level of physical activity. Requires the department to make available a list of available resources to carry out the provisions of this subsection, and to report annually to the Legislative Research Commission on how the schools are providing physical activity under these requirements, and on the types of physical activity being provided. The policy developed by the school council must comply with provisions required by federal law, state law, or local board policy.
