State Board of Education Meeting – Update on Chapter 12 Regulations

This week, the State Board of Education met to discuss and receive updates on a variety of issues, including the proposed Chapter 12 regulations on student nutrition/health and wellness which have been tolled by the Attorney General’s office in order for the State Board to provide clarification on provisions relating to the composition and duties of the health advisory committee; and also whether students who participate in work related to school gardens would be subject to child labor laws. Once the Attorney General’s office receives the information, the regulatory review process may continue and the State Board will determine next steps concerning the proposal.
