The Coalition on Children and Weight San Diego (CCWSD), the forerunner to the San Diego County Childhood Obesity Initiative, teamed up with County Board of Supervisor Pam Slater-Price and HealthLink North County to host the School Food Summit on Wednesday, March 9, 2005. More than 240 school board members, administrators, food service directors, nurses, staff, and parent leaders representing 36 school districts attended the event to identify key opportunities for creating healthy school food environments. Participants received information and training on creating positive food environments through legislative advocacy, best practices, and action plan development and implementation.
