It perhaps was extraneous in the first place, but a proposed revision to Arlington’s student-wellness policy is slated to remove some laudatory verbiage related to a federal health agency.
The policy update, going to School Board members for a first look this week, currently includes a provision that school-system food and nutrition policies will be executed in accordance with the Coordinated School Health Model as promulgated by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In the existing language, the federal agency is described in the policy as “our nation’s premiere (sic) health promotion, prevention and preparedness agency.” But that phrase is slated to be exorcised in the revised version.
School Board members are likely to vote on all the changes in May.
