Senate Bill 638 and After School Healthy Snacks

Senate Bill 638 (2006) was introduced by Senators Torlakson and Ashburn to aid in the implementation of voter-approved Proposition 49. One of the requirements of SB 638 is that the California Department of Education (CDE) will provide training and support for the after school enrichment component in After School Education and Safety (ASES), 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC), and/or 21st Century High School After School Safety and Enrichment for Teens (ASSETs) programs. These Web pages are one of CDE’s efforts to provide training and support to after school programs to provide healthy after school snacks and nutrition-related educational activities.

Categorical Program Monitoring (CPM)

The California Department of Education’s Categorical Program Monitoring requires that after school programs funded by ASES, 21st CCLC, and/or ASSETs programs provide a daily nutritious snack/meal for attending students, and that snacks conform to the California Nutrition Guidelines. See What are Healthy Snacks? for more information.
