A SHAC is a group of parents, community members, and school employees working together to improve the health of all students and families through the coordinated school health program. The majority of SHAC members must be parents who have children currently enrolled in the district and are not employed by the school district. All board appointed members are provided with an orientation and each member has an opportunity to contribute and bring suggestions regarding school health issues to the district.
A SHAC can have a variety of roles. Members work together to give recommendations and provide support to all of the eight interacting components of the Coordinated School Health Programs (CSHP) as listed here:
