Requires public schools and charter schools to inform families that vegetarian options and milk alternatives are available upon request.
Requires all foods provided through public school and charter school vending machines, fundraisers, snacks, after-school meals, or other means, or sold in stores in schools and charter schools, meet the requirements of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's HealthierUS School Challenge program at the Gold Award Level for competitive foods. Provides exceptions. Prohibits third parties (other than school-related organizations and school meal service providers) from selling food and beverages on school property from 90 minutes before the school day begins until 90 minutes after the school day ends.

| OH | Signed into law 06/2010 | P-12 | Permits schools participating in a school breakfast program to offer breakfast to students in their classrooms during the school day.

Existing law requires local boards to adopt and enforce standards for the types of food that may be sold on school premises; new provision extends these requirements to beverages sold on school grounds. In adopting standards for food and beverages sold on school premises, requires local boards to consult with a licensed dietitian or school nutrition specialist, and to consult the dietary guidelines jointly developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and to incorporate the guidelines into the standards as possible. Requires local standards to prohibit vending machines in classrooms. Requires local boards to designate staff responsible for ensuring that the district or charter school meets the adopted nutritional standards, and for this staff member to prepare an annual report on the district's or school's compliance with the standards and submit it to the department of education.
Defines an "a la carte" item as any individually priced food or beverage item sold through (1) a school food service program; (2) a vending machine; or (3) a store run by the school, a student association or other school-sponsored organization. (Excludes from the definition of "a la carte" item foods and beverages sold as a school fundraiser or school-sponsored event outside the regular school day, or at an interscholastic athletic event.)

Sets additional limits on beverage sales during the regular and extended school day.
Provides that when the department of education obtains free computer software that evaluates the nutritional value of foods and performs specified functions, the department must make this software available to all public and charter schools.
