What is SHAC?
The School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) is an advisory group comprised of individuals who represent segments of the community. The group acts collectively to provide advice to the KISD on aspects of the school district’s health program. Generally, the members of SHAC are appointed by either the Board of Trustees, PTA, or the Facilitator for Health Education.
SHAC is seeking new members for the upcoming school year. Of importance, increased parent membership is needed. Because the SHAC functions to provide a community voice regarding school health issues it critical that parents become involved. Further, through the collaboration of parents, community members, and KISD staff SHAC strives to create healthy, safe schools.
For more information, or if you have a parent, student, or community member to recommend, email Nurse Chacon or Nurse Mora.
It is important to emphasize that the SHAC provides advice to the KISD administrative staff and the KISD Board of Trustees.
