The document discusses Nevada's School Wellness Policy requirements. It notes that all districts must have an up-to-date wellness policy and advisory committee. It also summarizes that nearly 400 schools completed the wellness survey this year, a major improvement over last year's 111 responses. The surveys and wellness reports can be viewed online. School staff are encouraged to provide feedback on noncompliance to help improve school wellness.
