What is a SHAC?
A SHAC (School Health Advisory Council) is a school board appointed advisory group of individuals who represent different segments of the community. Texas law requires that the majority of the members must be parents who are not employed by the school district. The Boerne ISD SHAC is made up of parents, community members, school staff, and students working together to improve the health and wellness of students through Coordinated School Health programs . SHACs provide recommendations specific to changes and/or additions to the school's health education curriculum or instruction that impact the entire school district.
What is included in a Coordinated School Health Program (CSHP)?
SHAC provides oversight for the following programs and services:
- Nutrition & Food Services
- Elementary Physical Education, Physical Activity and Health Education
- Secondary Classroom Health & Human Sexuality Instruction
- Faculty/Staff Wellness
- Safe and Healthy Schools
