Report Title:	School Board Member and Superintendent Survey Results for The Examination of Communication Factors Affecting Policymakers
*Abstract:*	California schools play a significant role in feeding California's children and thus, contribute to the acquisition of lifetime dietary habits (California Center for Health Improvement, 1998; California Department of Education, 2000). Many of the foods adolescents eat at school are high in fat, sugar, sodium and calories, and low in fiber. These types of foods are sold in part because they are popular and thus, create a sales profit. These nutrition policy practices can contribute to inadequate diet and the acquisition of poor dietary habits. Very little information exists regarding the motivating and deterring factors that influence school board members in relation to nutrition policy. This report provides highlights from key informant interviews and other survey results to enhance understanding of California school board members as well as other decision-makers such as superintendents, and the factors that influence their policy decision-making. The study was undertaken through collaboration between California Project LEAN (Leaders Encouraging Activity and Nutrition) [CPL], 10 California communities, and the University of South Florida (USF), College of Public Health. All members formed the Community Research Collaborative. This report was partially supported through Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Report Title:	2004 School Board Member Survey Results: Nutrition and Physical Activity for The Examination of Communication Factors Affecting Policymakers
*Abstract:*	A 84 question survey regarding nutrition and physical activity-related issues was administered to school board members using a stratified random sampling strategy(n=210). The survey was based upon an earlier survey administered in 2001 that looked only at nutrition-related school policies. The survey covered a number of topics including review of individual school districts' nutrition and physical activity policies, the impact of professional development and training on nutrition-related school health decisions, and perspectives regarding various nutrition-related policies.
