#1 Wellness Policy: In 2006, all districts nationwide were required to develop wellness policies to be submitted to their State Departments of Education.  New Haven’s Policy was ranked as #1 in the State, which reflects the Physical Activity and Wellness (PAW) programs (funded through private grants), food service initiatives and a variety of health education efforts that are being employed across the District.
