The Lorena ISD School Health Advisory Council is a school board approved advisory group made up of individuals who represent different segments of the community. By law, a majority of the members must be persons who are parents of students
enrolled in the district and who are not employed by the district. The LISD SHAC is made up of parents, community members, and school staff all working together to imporove the health and safety of all students, staff, and families through coordinatored school health programs.
Why do we need a School Health Advisory Council (SHAC)?
- It's Texas law: Title 2, Chapter 28, Section 28.004 of the Texas Education Code
- Healthy children learn better
Mission:
We, the Lorena School Health Adviosry council exist to fulfill the law in providing, evaluating, and adopting health/safety education curriculum for Lorena ISD. We promote family and community involvement in the selection of materials, programs, and events with the goal of expanding our students understanding of true and complete health both physically and emotionally.
The SHAC meets four times during the school year, more often as needed.
