Concerning Nutrition in Schools

S.B. 19 increases the amount of money the state reimburses schools for free and reduced-priced meals. It permits school districts to convene a Child Nutrition and Physical Activity Advisory Committee to increase organic produce in school meals, support school gardens, and collaborate with local farmers markets. Additionally, S.B. 19 prohibits the sale of sugar-sweetened beverages and establishes new standards for foods sold on site.
