School Health Advisory Council

The Lorena ISD School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) 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 improve the health and safety of all students, staff, and families through coordinated school health programs. We strive to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment for every student in Lorena ISD. If you would like to serve on our School Health Advisory Council, please contact us. 

 

Mission:

We, the Lorena School Health Advisory 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.
