School Health Advisory Councils
Why They Make
A Difference

WHY is School Health SO Important?

Education and health are inseparable;
students can be taught good health habits
and healthy kids learn better.
Healthy Kids Miss Less School.
Healthy Kids Present Fewer Behavior
Problems.
Healthy Kids Have Better Attitudes.
Healthy Kids Stay In School.

6
Why Is School Health So Important?

Youth who feel connected to their
families and schools are healthier and
less likely to get into trouble.
When parents are involved in schools,
learning, behavior and attitudes improve.

7
In the old days…

In the old days we had PE every day.
In the old days everyone ate in the cafeteria.
In the old days there were no soda and snack
machines in school.
In the old days we worried about polio and
measles, now we worry about diabetes and
STDs.

Youth Risk Behaviors
 Tobacco Use
 Poor Food Choices and Inappropriate Portion
Sizes
 Inadequate Physical Activity
 Alcohol and Drug Use
 Sexual Behaviors That Can Transmit HIV and
other STD’s
 Unintended Pregnancy
 Intentional and Unintentional Injuries, Often
Due to Violence
10
The problems caused by these behaviors
reduce children’s school attendance and
success.
Education and health are linked
Schools alone cannot address all the
health needs of children, BUT…

11
Schools can provide a focal point
for preventing or reducing risky
health behaviors and for
promoting healthy ones.

12
To find at risk children,
simply look for a child.

With violence, drugs, alcohol, tobacco,
poverty, HIV, lack of physical activity and
poor nutrition --all our children are at risk.

For the first time in history, the
adolescent population is less
healthy than its parents were at
the same age.

18
WHAT HAS THIS GOT TO DO
WITH US?
If you aren’t part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!
We need strong, informed
leadership in our schools to truly
have an impact.
You care and you are here!

19
Concerns About School Health

Funding is limited, but this is an
opportunity to look at what is in
place and what can be improved.
There are funding sources for
new ideas to improve children’s
health.
20
Concerns About School Health

A truly coordinated school health
plan can actually take less time
overall because it reduces
duplication of efforts.

21
Concerns About School Health

The needs and concerns of youth
and their families has changed
and schools need to change to
meet those needs.

22
What is a School Health Advisory
Council (SHAC)

A SHAC is a group of individuals representative
of segments of the community, appointed by the
school district to serve at the district level.
They provide advice on coordinated school
health programming and its impact on student
health and learning.
A SHAC provides recommendations that impact
the entire school district.
