In 2017-2018 the USDA Wellness Policy Final Rule provided additional details and requirements as to what should be included in each school district’s wellness policies. This video provides a brief introduction to the updated version of the Wellness School Assessment Tool, otherwise known as the WellSAT 3.0. By completing the tool, WellSAT users will be able to assess the quality of their wellness policies, and they will be provided with resources and guidance for making improvements based on their assessment.
