The School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) is a volunteer advisory group that collectively acts to provide recommendations to the Del Valle ISD School Board. The council’s purpose is to ensure community values, and local health issues are reflected in the District’s health education policies and instructions.
The work of SHAC is carried out by its committees, which include: Family & Community Involvement, Nutrition, Physical Education & Activity, Health Education, Social & Emotional Wellness, Health Services, Healthy and safe School Environment, and Health Promotion for Staff Wellness.
It is the Texas Law that every public-school district establishes and maintain a School Health Advisory Council. Membership is comprised of parents, district staff, community agency representatives, professionals, and students. By law, most of the council members must be parents.
SHAC meets approximately 4-6 times a year
