School Health Advisory Board
School Health Advisory Board
The School Health Advisory Board (SHAB) advises the Charlottesville City School Board in the development and evaluation of policies and programs that support the health and wellbeing of students, families, and school staff. The SHAB promotes and advocates for a coordinated and comprehensive approach to school health by:
- Identifying issues of concern,
- Reviewing potential solutions, and
- Promoting action.
For more information about the SHAB’s roles and responsibilities, please refer to the SHAB Bylaws or the hand-out on SHAB’s Roles.
SHAB members represent a broad section of the school and greater Charlottesville community, including health professionals, community agencies, parents, educators and students. SHAB has 20 members. Additionally, up to 5 liaisons from the school division and School Board participate in the work of the SHAB.
Recognizing the link between student health and learning, the Charlottesville City School Board adopted a set of goals to promote physical activity and healthy eating among Division students and staff.
The Wellness Policy (JHCF) and regulations (JHCF-R) include guidelines for how schools can provide a healthy environment in which students can learn and thrive. To learn about how Charlottesville City Schools encourages physical fitness, see here.
Many of SHAB’s recommendations are incorporated into operations at Charlottesville City Schools through areas such as Nutrition Services.
