49-6-1404. Nutrition and physical activity programs in schools where aggregate data suggests high rates of obesity.

Schools where aggregate data suggests that high rates of overweight children may be a problem are encouraged to expand existing or implement new school-based nutrition and physical activity programs designed to reduce those rates. The effectiveness of these results could be determined by completing a BMI-for-age on the school's students whose parents or guardians have not requested exclusion from the testing at the end of the school year.
