Wellness Policy

Benton Community School Corporation has developed a Wellness Policy per the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 requirement.

A wellness policy is a plan to emphasize and support healthy choices at the school. The policy also requires specific information to be included within the wellness policy to ensure that it is focused on improving the health of students.

The policy was developed by the Wellness Policy Commitee that can include teachers, parents, administrators, nursing staff, students, and community members. If you would like to participate, please contact us.
