Va. Code §22.1-275.1—Each school board may establish a school health advisory board of no more than twenty members which shall consist of broad-based community representation including, but not limited to, parents, students, health professionals, educators, and others.

2022-23 Committee Charge

SHAC will focus on learning more about the impact of technology use on student wellness, including physical and mental health, physical activity, social-emotional well-being, and sleep. We will seek to understand best practices in the use of educational technology in schools for various age groups and seek direct student and family feedback.
