School Health Advisory Council
A School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) is a group appointed by the school district to serve at the district level. Members of SHAC come from different areas of the community and within the school district. The majority of members must be parents who are not employed by the district. Texas law (Texas Education Code, Title 2, Subtitle F, Chapter 28, Subchapter A,_28.004) requires the establishment of a SHAC for every school district.
A School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) assists the district in ensuring that local community values are reflected in health education instruction. Additionally, the SHAC can help a district meet performance goals and alleviate financial constraints. SHACs play an important role in strengthening the connection between health and learning as well as help parents and community stakeholders reinforce the health knowledge and skills children need to stay healthy for a lifetime.
The Student Health Advisory Council is required to meet four times a year. The AISD SHAC has 5 scheduled meetings in the Angleton ISD Transportation Meeting Room from 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM.
