Arizona Healthy Schools Act
New legislation aims to promote healthier eating habits among our students by reducing access to certain ultra-processed foods during the regular school day.
Under this law, our Food Service Department will remain compliant with all state and federal nutrition requirements, ensuring that students have access to nutritious meals. However, the implementation of the Arizona Healthy Schools Act will impact classroom celebrations, birthday parties, school-sponsored events, and similar activities during school hours. Specifically, the law prohibits schools from serving, selling, or allowing third parties to sell foods containing certain ingredients during the regular school day, defined as midnight through 30 minutes after the end of the school day.
