Pre-existing school health regulations require that a school nurse or teacher conduct height and weight measurements of students annually and that every effort be made to determine the pattern of growth for each child. The revised procedures require the height and weight measurements to be used to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI) which is plotted on growth charts developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The revised procedures were voluntary for the 2004-2005 school year. Mandatory implementation begins in school year 2005-06 for grades K-4 and will expand to three additional grades each year thereafter until all 12 grades are included. Each school district and charter school will receive materials that provide guidance on properly measuring children's heights and weights, calculating and plotting BMI and notifying parents/guardians of the screening results.

(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 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.
