MEC Postion on Healthy Lifestyles

MEC supports healthy lifestyles for staff, students and families including physical activity, behavioral, emotional, mental health, and instruction. We expect all schools to meet National School Nutrition Standards. All students must have access to social-emotional education and services as well as regular physical activity. All policies must include stakeholders in the decision-making process. Student health records must be kept updated, accessible, but secure. *

​

Since the pandemic, federal, state and local governments have expanded their health and resources and services (physical, emotional, mental, behavioral) for children and families. Also, some local Maryland School Districts also provides services or resources including some that may be free or low-cost.
