WHAT IS A SHAC?

A school health advisory council (SHAC) is an advisory group of individuals who represent segments of the school and community. The group acts collectively to provide advice to the school system on aspects of their school health programs.

School systems often use advisory councils to provide advice to them on a variety of topics. It is important to emphasize that such councils are advisory in nature; formed to provide advice to school districts. These groups are not part of the administrative structure of the schools. They do not have any legal responsibilities within the school system.

The SHAC addresses all components of a comprehensive school health program (health instruction, healthful school environment, health services, physical education, school counseling, food service, school site health promotion for faculty and staff, and integrated school and community programs). It is also instrumental in: educational program planning, liaison between school and community, and development of health activities in the district (health promotion, health fairs).

SHAC membership can include: parents, students, medical professionals, social service agencies, business/industry, volunteer health agencies, churches/synagogues, hospitals/clinics, public health agencies, civic and service organizations, colleges/universities, public media, attorneys and law enforcement officials, schools, youth groups, professional societies, and government officials.
