If the school or school district has a community advisory committee, it is essential to find out whether they address health promotion and nutrition.If such a committee does not exist,
implementing healthy nutrition provides an opportunity to form one or to identify
community advisors who can work with the school health team to improve health and
nutrition. In some settings it may be beneficial to collaborate with existing community
groups, such as a healthy city council or school board. Potential partners from outside
the school include: representatives of local government, community residents,
businesses, vendors, media, community youth agencies, nongovernmental organizations,
social service providers, health service providers, sports figures and religious leaders.
Subsequently, this committee can also address other health promotion issues.
