School Employees' Experiences Implementing a Local School Wellness Policy

An abstract of a study by Bancroft et al investigating the experiences of wellness coordinators: principals, and food service managers in implementing a school wellness policy is presented. They conclude that their study characterized the experiences of elementary school employees in northern Nevada. Findings suggest that additional effort may be required to gain school employees' support for wellness policy implementation. Although these findings cannot be generalized, these results may be of benefit to others seeking to improve the school environment through policy changes.
