The Team Nutrition Grant Project began in 2003 with the goal to guide and assist schools to create and maintain a coordinated, comprehensive school health program. Such a program integrates a school’s child nutrition programs, with the classroom, the community, and entire school environment. A coordinated, comprehensive school health program (CSHP) can be implemented to create a healthy school environment through a “model” nutrition policy. Using the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service Team Nutrition’s Changing the Scene, A Guide to Local Action, the project proposed to implement the model at a state level by forming a state level coalition of key decision makers within the school environment.

RUCO is an advocate of residential ratepayer interests before the Arizona Corporation Commission. We have been actively engaged in complex rate case litigations and additional line-siting and corporate certification applications, and played central policy-level roles in successfully advocating residential consumer positions that resulted in acceptance by the Commissioners in their decisions. There is occasionally a redundant and repetitive nature of the case summaries compiled in these Annual Reports. Each summary intentionally has been written so that any party can read its contents without the need for additional context found elsewhere in the document, making each summary easy and understandable as a stand-alone guide to the particular case. It is understood that RUCO is no longer required to assemble Annual Reports.
