The Nutrition Education and Training Program (NETP) promotes healthy eating habits to improve the health and well-being of children. It integrates mealtime and learning experiences to help children make informed food choices part of a healthy lifestyle. Kansas NETP has adopted the national NETP philosophy and strategic direction, with goals revised to reflect nutrition education in Kansas. A needs assessment completed in fiscal year 1980 and supplemented in 1984 is being updated by another needs assessment to determine general nutrition knowledge of fifth graders and to assess their current nutritional status. Goals for nutrition education in Kansas include: (1) increase the number of schools that provide nutrition education as part of health education, a part of interdisciplinary nutrition education curriculum, or through other means to children and parents; (2) increase the proportion of child care and Summer Food Service Program facilities that provide nutrition information/education; (3) increase food service personnel who have received nutrition information/training; (4) increase the proportion of school lunch, breakfast, child care, and summer food service menus that are consistent with nutrition principles; (5) and establish partnerships with other groups interested in child nutrition. This plan outlines the objectives, major activities, time schedules, costs, and evaluation criteria to be used in attaining the goals. Program budget information and program activities completed or proposed for fiscal year 1990 through 1995 are presented. (JDD)
