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.
