School Health Advisory Committee reports yearlong programs and outreach
Summary
The district's School Health Advisory Committee reviewed monthly topics and outreach activities from suicide awareness to summer sun safety; staff commended committee chair and supporting nurses and counselors.
The El Campo ISD School Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) presented highlights of its yearlong program activities to trustees, outlining monthly themes and student engagement efforts.
SHAC chair and staff described a schedule of monthly focuses the committee organized and publicized across campuses and the district website and social media. Highlights included suicide awareness and leukemia awareness in September; fentanyl awareness, bully prevention and Halloween safety in October; cold and flu guidance in December; a vegetable-and-fruit incentive program at elementary campuses; human trafficking awareness in January; heart-health activities and a blood-pressure/blood-drive collaboration in February; National Nutrition Month activities in March; autism and sexual assault awareness and child abuse prevention in April; and a May emphasis on mental health and summer sun/hydration safety.
District staff credited SHAC coordinator Monica Ott and other staff members for organizing the outreach; board members also publicly thanked supporting staff for their work. Trustees had no substantive questions and moved on to other business.
Why it matters: SHAC programming addresses student health and prevention topics across the academic year and connects district staff, families and the community to resources and awareness campaigns.
