The School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) is a group of individuals representing segments of the community, appointed by the school district to serve at the district level. They provide advice to the district on coordinating school health programming and its impact on student health and learning. The SHAC will assist the district in ensuring that local community values are reflected in the district's health education instruction.
SHAC provides an efficient, effective structure for recommending age-appropriate, sequential health education programs, and early intervention and prevention strategies that can easily be supported by local families and community stakeholders.
