SHAB Membership Application
The School Health Advisory Board assists the Charlottesville City School Board in the development and evaluation of policies and programs that support the health and well being of students, families, and school staff by being an independent advocate for comprehensive and up-to-date health standards. SHAB members include a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 20 parents, health professionals, educators, students, and other community representatives.
Members serve three-year terms. The SHAB meets on the second Tuesday of September, November, January, March, and May from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in the CHS Media Center. Standing committees include Wellness (W), Outreach (O) and Membership (M).
Current openings are the blank slots in the membership roster. You are encouraged to send in your application no later than May 1 for consideration for membership in the following school year. If you are willing to serve as an ad hoc (non-voting) member, for the remainder of a current school year, you are welcome to send in your application at any time. Ad hoc members will need to update and resubmit their applications by May 1 for approval for full SHAB membership the following school year.
