Joining the SHLG
Each Harris County Independent School District is
invited to send two or three persons to participate in the
School Health Leadership Group who are leaders in one of the
eight coordinated school health component areas that impacts
school health. Most districts identify their School Health
Coordinator, Child Nutrition Director, and District Health/PE
Coordinator as their representatives.
Leaders who participate in the SHLG are expected
to:
(1) be
able to identify and disseminate information received back to
the
appropriate people in your district,
(2)
be
able to discuss what is occurring in your district regarding
school health
and be an expert in your field, and
(3)
be
recognized by others as someone who can make changes happen. We
often refer to these folks as our “movers and shakers,” however
this person
does not have to be a “decision maker.”
By participating, or appointing someone to
participate, you can help your district create a healthy school
district climate that benefits not only the students, but also
the teachers, and other staff.
