| CA | Signed into law 09/2005 | P-12 | Establishes the Local Improvement Program as a pilot program, with up to 5% of all public schools and up to 15 school districts participating. Requires participating districts to allocate instructional program funding to participating schools with maximum flexibility in the development and implementation of schoolsite funding in order to support and improve pupil learning.
Requires local board of each participating school district to develop and implement policies and procedures to increase site-level decisionmaking at participating schools. Decisionmaking must include specific powers, such as allowing parents, diverse community members, students, teachers and other school employees to set goals, objectives, and expenditure priorities for improving instruction at that school, and to participate in decisionmaking regarding policies and procedures. Policies in participating districts must also allow teachers and administrators to select and assign certified and noncertified personnel, make decisions on allocations for instructional materials, staff training, and personnel, and design coursework.
Within certain limitations, participating school districts may, on behalf of one or more participating schools, request to waive any provision of the Education Code, or any regulation enacted pursuant to authority granted by the Education Code, if such a waiver is necessary to facilitate the pilot program.
Requires district applications for program participation to demonstrate the manner in which parent education, information, and support will be provided for parents of all racial, ethnic, gender, or socioeconomic backgrounds to encourage their involvement in developing and implementing the program.
Provides for the state superintendent to evaluate the program's effectiveness and annually report on that evaluation.
Ends pilot program effective June 30, 2010.

| KY | Signed into law 03/2005 | P-12 | Beginning with the 2006-2007 school year, requires each school to limit access to no more than one day each week to retail fast foods in the cafeteria, whether sold by contract, commercial vendor, or otherwise.
Requires every district to appoint a food service director who is responsible for the management and oversight of the food service program in the district; allows two or more contiguous districts to form a "school food service area," in which a school food service director must be jointly selected by the participating superintendents to oversee the school food service area. Each school food service director must be certified as a "school food service and nutrition specialist" or certified by a Level 2 certificate issued by the American School Food Service Association within three years after this bill goes into effect. Requires school cafeteria managers to annually receive at least two hours of continuing education in applied nutrition and healthy meal planning and preparation.
Defines "competitive food," "school day" and school-day-approved beverage." Defines "school-day-approved beverage" as water, 100% fruit juice, lowfat milk, and any beverage that contains no more than 10 grams of sugar per serving. Requires the state board to specify the minimum nutritional standards for all foods and beverages sold outside the National School Breakfast and National School Lunch programs in vending machines, school stores, canteens, and a la carte cafeteria sales. Requires minimum nutritional standards to be based on the most recent edition of the United States Department of Agriculture's Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Requires the state board rule to address serving size, sugar, and fat content of the foods and beverages. Permits school districts to impose more stringent standards than the state board standards. Requires all schools to follow the state board minimum standards unless the school has obtained a waiver from the state board. Requires any waiver approved by the state board to be reviewed on an annual basis.
Bars schools from selling competitive foods or beverages from the time of the arrival of the first student at the school building until 30 minutes after the last lunch period. Allows only school-day-approved beverages to be sold in elementary schools during the school day in vending machines, school stores, canteens, or fundraisers that sell beverages by students, teachers, or groups on school grounds.
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;
(c) A review of access to foods and beverages sold outside the National School Breakfast and National School Lunch programs, including vending machines, school stores, canteens, and a la carte cafeteria sales;
(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.
