00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,160
Welcome to Module 4: Completing Questions with Open Text Responses.  

2
00:00:06,180 --> 00:00:11,340
After completing questions on the 31 
key topics of WPAT., you will see a  

3
00:00:11,340 --> 00:00:18,240
page called USDA Triennial Assessment Reporting 
Requirements. The six questions on this page are  

4
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:23,280
requirements for completing USDA's triennial 
assessment of local school wellness policies,  

5
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,960
which aims to assess how districts are 
communicating about the wellness policy,  

6
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:33,180
engaging a diverse group of interested parties 
to be a part of the wellness policy development,  

7
00:00:33,180 --> 00:00:38,040
and working to ensure that the policy is 
implemented within schools in the district.

8
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,860
On this page, you will type in your 
responses to the following questions:  

9
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:50,460
who in your school district has the authority and 
responsibility to ensure each school complies with  

10
00:00:50,460 --> 00:00:56,760
the local school wellness policy, where is the 
required documentation maintained for examination  

11
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:03,600
of records during the administrative review, when 
was the wellness policy last reviewed and updated,  

12
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,220
who was involved in the review 
and update of the policy,  

13
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:15,060
how were interested parties made aware of their 
ability to participate in the review and update  

14
00:01:15,060 --> 00:01:21,720
of the policy, and how is the wellness policy and 
triennial assessment made available to the public.  

15
00:01:22,980 --> 00:01:28,500
You will need to complete each of these questions 
before moving forward. When you are finished click  

16
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:35,100
next item. The final question of the 
assessment is optional and provides you with  

17
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:40,560
the opportunity to highlight any other wellness 
policy topics and school health practices that  

18
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:45,840
your district and or school are working on but 
that were not included in the WPAT assessment.  

19
00:01:46,620 --> 00:01:51,480
For example, your school district may require 
that at least one fresh fruit and one fresh  

20
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:57,660
vegetable option are available at lunch each 
day. This was not one of the standard 31 items  

21
00:01:57,660 --> 00:02:03,000
in WPAT, but you can add it to this section and 
state how your school is doing with implementing  

22
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,180
this policy requirement. After completing 
this question, you can click save and exit,  

23
00:02:09,180 --> 00:02:16,680
which will take you to the WPAT assessment 
results page. In our next video, Module 5,  

24
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,761
we will discuss how to interpret and use the 
results from the WPAT assessment.
