A new issue of The State Education Standard, the journal of the National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE), examines how education policy-makers can best address childhood obesity in school settings. It includes new information and resources for state and district leaders to help them incorporate the new Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans throughout the school day, improve the school food environment and apply evidence-based recommendations for the implementation of local wellness policies.
