Survey of School Nutrition Policies
Missouri Team Nutrition
The Team Nutrition survey provides a baseline of school nutrition
policies and programs in Missouri's 2,000 plus public and non-public

to create a healthier nutrition environment. All 2,000 plus public
schools and 500 plus non-public schools were invited to complete
the survey.

the Missouri school environment to national indicators. Best practice
guidelines for healthy environments are included in each section.
