School Health Advisory Council (SHAC)
School Health Advisory Council (SHAC)
The Valley View ISD School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) works with the district to help ensure that local community values are reflected in health education and related school health programs.
Under Texas Education Code §28.004, each school district is required to establish a local School Health Advisory Council. The district must consider recommendations from the SHAC before making changes to its health education curriculum or instruction.
What Does SHAC Do?
The SHAC makes recommendations to Valley View ISD regarding areas that support the health and well-being of students, including:
- Health education and the amount of instructional time provided
- Physical education and physical activity
- Nutrition services
- Parent involvement
- Substance abuse prevention
- School health and mental health services
- Comprehensive school counseling
- A safe and healthy school environment
- Other age-appropriate health education curriculum and instruction
The SHAC serves in an advisory role and provides recommendations to the Valley View ISD Board of Trustees regarding the district's health education program and related student health initiatives.
