Volunteer and Parent Engagement Opportunities
Lackland ISD strongly desires parent participation in decision-making committees. You have an opportunity to share your voice and help us actualize our vision as The Premier leader in educational excellence. As you engage as a parent, we also invite your participation in campus and district-level committees. Below are the descriptions for these committees for your consideration. Each committee’s point of contact is listed with the committee description if you have additional questions.
Please read each description and let us know if you are interested in supporting the committee or learning more about it.
School Health Advisory Council
The School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) assists the district in ensuring that local community values are reflected in the health education program. The council will address the continued implementation of a coordinated health program, including health education, physical education, health services, nutrition services, counseling, a healthy school environment, staff health promotion, and family/community involvement. This committee must have more parent representation than district staff. The SHAC meets at least four times during the school year. Two meetings occur after-school, and two meetings occur during the school day. Tentative meeting dates are October 5, December 7, February 8, and April 12.

District Calendar Committee
The District Calendar Committee assists the district in the development of the school calendar. Lackland ISD’s District Calendar Committee will develop the calendar for the 2024-2025 school year for board approval. The committee also makes any necessary recommendations for the previously board-approved 2023-2024 school calendar based on new information. The District Calendar Committee meets after school during the spring semester. Following the initial meeting to design the calendar, the committee may have additional meetings to consider stakeholder feedback and finalize the calendar for the District Education Improvement Council and the Board of Trustees.
Strategic Planning Committee
Lackland ISD is bringing key community members together to collaborate on creating a five-year strategic plan designed to improve our district. The strategic planning process is intense. Parent engagement will be requested initially on September 21st or 22nd and September 28 or 29 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with follow-up meetings on October 11, 18, and/or 27th, from 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. and additional meetings as needed. The role of committee members is to help set the direction for the district’s plan.
