| WA | Signed into law 03/2008 | P-12 | The bill creates the farm-to-school program within the department of agriculture to facilitate increased procurement of Washington grown food by schools. The department of agriculture, along with the department of health, the office of the superintendent of public instruction (OSPI), the deartment of general administration and Washington State University, must execute the following, in order of priority: 1. Identify and develop policies and procedures to implement and evaluate the farm-to-school program; 2. Assist food producers, distributors and food brokers to market state grown food to schools; 3. Assist schools in connecting with local producers; 4. Identify and recommend mechanisms that will increase the predictability of sales for producers; 5. Identify and make available existing curricula, programs and publications for educational purposes; 6. Support efforts to advance other farm-to-school connections; and, 7. Seek additional funds. In cooperation with OSPI, the department of agriculture must collect data on the activities conducted under the act and report biennially to the legislature.
The bill also creates the Washington grown fresh fruit and vegetable grant program within OSPI to facilitate consumption of state grown food by school children. The grant program is to be modeled after the fderal fresh fruit and vegetable program (42 USC Sec. 1769(g)); however, schools receiving grants under this federal program are not eligible for state grants. OSPI must solicit applications, conduct a competitive process and make one to two-year grants to urban and rural schools. The superintendent must follow certain factors and criteria when evaluating applications and selecting grantees. Priority is to be given to applicant schhols with grades K-8 that participate in the national school lunch program and have 50% or more of their students eligible for free or reduced price meals. In coordination with the department of agriculture, OSPI is directed to track outcome measures of the grant program.
School districts are authorized to operate school gardens or farms for the purpose of growing fruits and vegetables to be used for educational purposes and to be offered to students through district meal and snack programs. Student organizations (such as 4-H) must be given the opportunity to be involved in the operation of the garden or farm. When the gardens/farms are used for educational purposes, students must be afforded the opportunity to learn about conventional and organic growing methods.
