School Nutrition Local Wellness Policy Triennial Assessment

Monday, June 22, 2020

Announcement from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction School Nutrition Team

 

Local School Wellness Policy Triennial Assessment due June 30, 2020

School Food Authorities (SFAs) must complete the first triennial assessment of their local wellness policy by June 30, 2020. SFAs must use the Wisconsin Local Wellness Policy Triennial Assessment Report Card to fulfill the triennial assessment requirement. Based on recent feedback from SFAs, the School Nutrition Team has revised the Triennial Assessment Report Card. If your SFA previously completed the Triennial Assessment Report Card, you do not need to complete another assessment using the revised version. The report card is available on the Local Wellness Policy webpage.
 
As a reminder, if your SFA is unable to complete the triennial assessment of the local school wellness policy by June 30, 2020, due to closures related to COVID-19, the USDA issued a Nationwide Waiver of Local School Wellness Policy Triennial Assessments in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. SFAs must notify the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction of their intent to use this waiver by June 30, 2020, by completing the Local School Wellness Policy Triennial Assessment Waiver Notification Form. For SFAs opting to use this waiver, the new first triennial assessment is due June 30, 2021.
