PROJECT SUMMARY       This project was created to assess the critical issues of 

physical fitness and nutritional health in the Clovis Unified School District. This project brings together educators, health advocates, Foodservice, and administrators. The mission is to look at existing programs and policies, which are related to the obesity rates in Clovis Unified School District. Under the leadership of Terry Bradley, Ed.D. – District Superintendent, Clovis Unified School District, this “Wellness Task Force” is committed to catalyzing better health outcomes for Clovis Unified School District children and communities through the deployment of three unique strategies:

      

Page 6: PLANNING SUSTAINABLE PROGRAMS TO POSITIVELY INFLUENCING STUDENT EATING  HABITS TO ATTAIN POSITIVE ACADEMIC OUTCOMES IN CLOVIS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

Promote models and resources that support healthy nutrition, physical activity, and healthy 

food access in Clovis Unified schools

Raise the political and media profiles of child health and fitness issues in the local communities; 

and

Support the creation and passage of health legislation that will lead to lower rates of obesity and obesity related diseases in school children in 

Clovis Unified Schools.

Executive Summary Responding to these issues requires that all parts of these 

ideas are connected. Thinking several steps ahead and anticipating consequences of not implementing what is needed is a key point of the success of this project.

We should not seek the perfect solution, but rather move forward with open eyes, which could be a balancing act.

I hope that my findings will encourage positive discussion. Note that this work represents opinions rather than observation of practices. Readers are cautioned not to leap to any conclusions about program efficacy from the analyses.

Page 12: PLANNING SUSTAINABLE PROGRAMS TO POSITIVELY INFLUENCING STUDENT EATING  HABITS TO ATTAIN POSITIVE ACADEMIC OUTCOMES IN CLOVIS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

Recommendations The implementation of the program should be a collaborative 

effort of the group of professionals at Clovis Unified School District, to solve the problem most critical to student learning / outcome by addressing obesity. Collaboration could possible be expanded into Fresno, Sanger and Central Unified School District.

External Funding should be thought to implement and approve the existing program.

The real question is how much you prepared to change? Project should be broken down into: Elementary Schools (K-6) Intermediate Schools (7-8) High Schools ( 9-12)
