Starting next school year, all schools participating in the federal National School Lunch or Breakfast Program must have a local school wellness policy in place that limits unhealthy food and beverage marketing to students.

ChangeLab Solutions has new and updated resources for community stakeholders working with schools to address school wellness:
- Food and Beverage Marketing in School Wellness Policies, model school wellness policy language for limiting unhealthy marketing to students
- Restricting Food and Beverage Marketing in Schools, a fact sheet that discusses policy options for school districts that want to go beyond the minimum requirements and address unhealthy marketing comprehensively
In addition, we have updated our Model Statute Limiting Food Marketing at Schools, a state-level tool for state boards of education, state policymakers, and school health advocates supporting healthy school food environments.
