(a) The department may formulate the basic elements of nutrition education programs for child nutrition entities participating in programs established under this article.

County offices of education may apply for and receive funds on behalf of school districts under their jurisdiction in order to implement projects.
(c) Projects may include, but need not be limited to, innovative ways to coordinate the school meal service program with the nutrition education program; development of community resources for purposes of nutrition education; instructional programs for teachers, parents, food service employees; and training and usage of paraprofessionals to assist the instructional staff.
