SCHOOL HEALTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SHAC)

WHAT IS SHAC?

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.

WHY DO WE NEED A SHAC?

School plays an important role in teaching healthy habits.
Healthy homes and healthy schools support healthy children.
Healthy children learn better.
