APRIL 2023 TRIENNIAL ASSESSMENT REPORT	2	CLOVIS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

Introduction

A local school wellness policy is a written document that guides school districts’ efforts to establish a school environment that promotes students’ health, well-being, and ability to learn.

The Clovis Unified School District Wellness Policy 5030 not only benefits school children academically, but it is also a federal requirement and must include specific components. The final regulation on local school wellness policies was released in 2017. As part of the requirements, the district informs the public about the wellness policy and any updates that are made. Additionally, the final rule requires completion of triennial assessments. Triennial assessments evaluate the progress Clovis Unified School District has made toward fulfilling specific wellness policy goals.

Clovis Unified School District’s Wellness Policy provides a guide to making healthy choices at our schools. The Wellness Policy can be accessed at the Clovis Unified School District website: https://boardpolicies.cusd.com/ClovisUnifiedBoardPolicies.aspx.

Wellness Policy Revision Schedule WELLNESS POLICY EVOLVEMENT

The Child Nutrition and Women, Infants, and Children Reauthorization Act of 2004 required that all school districts participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP) establish a Local School Wellness Policy (LSWP) by School Year (SY) 2006-07. In 2010, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act expanded the scope of the LSWP and requires additional stakeholder involvement in the development, implementation, and review of LSWP, such as the requirement of periodic assessment and public updates. In 2014, the proposed rule of LSWP further expanded to include requirements for specific measurable goals for nutrition promotion, education, and nutrition guidelines and standards for all foods and beverages available to student on campus (during the school day). During this time, the proposed rule also established leadership requirements to ensure that each school complied with LSWP requirements. Beginning SY 2016-2017, the California Department of Education (CDE) provided action steps for school districts to commence final implementation stages.

REVISION SCHEDULE

Clovis Unified School District Child Nutrition Department ensured that the district’s wellness policy complied with the above policy updates as set forth by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) and California Department of Education (CDE). Please note the following Clovis Unified School District’s wellness policy revision schedule:

Model Policy Comparison and Assessment WellSAT 3.0: SCORECARD REVIEW & WELLSAT-I

The WellSAT 3.0 is a quantitative assessment tool utilized to help score and improve local School Wellness Policies. Since 2010, this measure has been used by thousands of people across the country, representing school districts from every state. All WellSAT items reflect best practices. The purpose of scoring your district’s policy is to identify where it is strong and where it could be improved.

The WellSAT-I is an interview that measures how fully a district is implementing wellness practices. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the written wellness policy scoring tool, WellSAT 3.0. The WellSAT-I was developed by a national team of researchers who work closely with school districts. More information on WellSAT 3.0 and WellSAT-I can be found by visiting https://www.wellsat.org/.

Version-WellSAT: 3.0

Policies are given two scores – one for comprehensiveness, and one for strength. Comprehensiveness scores show how many topics the policy addresses overall, while strength show how many topics are addressed in a required, specific manner in the policy. Please note that the WellSAT 3.0 for Clovis Unified School District was completed utilizing language from various district board policies that included Local School Wellness Policy language associated with the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act:

o BP No. 5030-Wellness Policy & AR Coordinated School Wellness 2406 o BP No. 3550-Food Service/Child Nutrition Program
o BP No. 3553-Free and Reduced-Price Meals
o BP No.3551-Food Services Operations/Cafeteria Funds o BP No. 3554-Other Food Sales
o BP No. 3555-Nutrition Program Compliance o BP No. 6142.7-Physical Education Program

Combined WellSAT 3.0 and WellSAT-I Scorecard

Below, you will see Clovis Unified School District’s written policy scores WellSAT 3.0 and implementation scores WellSAT-I for every item:

Triennial Implementation Highlights

Over the course of three school years, Clovis Unified School District Coordinated School Health Committee convened a total of seven times. Partners included parents, nursing staff, community partners, nutrition services, employee benefits staff, psychological staff and district administration. Some community partnerships have included Center for Wellness and Nutrition, California Health Collaborative, Dairy Council, and Valley Children’s Hospital. Wellness policy action items were prioritized collectively. The following are the Wellness Policy triennial implementation highlights; SY 19-20, SY 20-21, SY 21-22.

During the pandemic, meals were offered to the community for all children aged one year to eighteen. Boxes of food were also distributed once a week to reduce exposure to others thus reducing COVID-19 from spreading. Food safety information was included with meals. Nutrition education remained a focus via Zoom instruction when students were engaged in remote learning.

Prior to the pandemic CUSD Coordinated School Health Committee coordinated walk-to-school events, facilitated the drug prevention team’s anti-tobacco use campaign along public trails and in city parks in coordination with the City of Clovis, smoking cessation and diabetes prevention classes as well as self-monitored fitness challenges for staff were also promoted.

To increase water access, the Campus Catering Department purchased water dispensers for all Clovis Unified School District in 2022. The iced water dispensers will give an additional water access point in addition to the refillable water stations and water fountains at each school site.

For SY 2022-2023 the development of the action plan was conducted utilizing the WellSAT: 3.0 scorecard items in addition to priority action item goals identified by the CUSD Coordinated School Health Committee. For SY 22-23, the Coordinated School Health Committee convened at least twice in the school year. The Director of Campus Catering alongside the Director of Nursing attended various subcommittee convenings to progress implementation of identified Wellness Policy goals.

Current and future action item goals identified by CUSD Coordinated School Health Committee include:

•	Student inclusion for sports clinics.

•	Discussions on classroom food-based celebrations. •	Promote healthy activities for staff.
•	Promoting and advertising school meal program activities through various venues. (Examples: board meeting, town hall meetings, CUSD Today, social media).

Next Steps

The health of our community depends on the partnership between the District and the City. Urban planning that promotes physical activity, social integration, and mental health as well as fostering environments where students and staff can truly be the best they can be in mind, body and spirit is our collective aim. The continued work with the Coordinated School Health Committee is on-going with the overarching goal to support our students towards healthier lifestyle habits for optimal student learning success.
