Strategies

Provide financial assistance to working parents, or parents attending school, to pay for child care

Assign higher costs to non-nutritious foods than nutritious foods via incentives, subsidies, or price discounts for healthy foods and beverages or disincentives or price increases for unhealthy choices

Promote walking and biking to school through education, incentives, and environmental changes; often called SRTS

Provide students from public schools, from low income backgrounds, or who have a high risk of dropping out and their families with information about social services and health care supports; also called community resource or family and community liaisons

Arrange active transportation with a fixed route, designated stops, and pick up times when children can walk to school with adult chaperones
