Supporting School Health Advisory Councils across Texas

Every Texas school district is required to have a SHAC: a council of parents, educators, and community members who guide local decisions on student health. The Texas SHAC Network, from Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, helps these councils succeed with plain-language guidance on Texas requirements, ready-to-use tools, and monthly SHAC Chats and webinars that connect members statewide. Together, we're building healthier schools and healthier Texas students.

Texas law requires every school district to have a SHAC, a council of parents and community members that advises the district on student health. The Texas SHAC Network helps SHAC members and coordinators do that work well, with plain-language guides to SHAC laws and wellness policies, School Health Index help, and monthly SHAC Chats with peers statewide. Our goal: healthier students through stronger SHACs.
