Step 2: Determine if your district beverage policy meets or exceeds these Guidelines
The School Nutrition Association reports that a vast majority of districts have established nutrition guidelines for food and beverages available in a la carte and vending machines. If your school district is one of the many who have taken this step, review your district’s beverage policy. If it is less restrictive than that of the Alliance, we encourage you to adopt the Alliance School Beverage Guidelines to provide a range of lower calorie and nutritious beverage options to your students and reinforce the important lessons of calorie and portion control.
We are content with our current mix of beverages as they meet our district’s newly adopted policy. Why should we make a change now?
