School Health Advisory Councils can guide in program planning within our district, serve in an advocacy role providing visibility for school health within the school system and community, liaison with district and state agencies, initiate direct intervention, and ensure evaluation, accountability and quality control of food service programs offering healthy menus and the physical and psychological environment of the school.
