PRIORITY AREA SUBCOMMITTEES and WORKGROUPS

Picture
SHAB Workgroups were first established in 2013 as a way to get work done in between SHAB meetings and to allow SHAB members to work on the topics they most care about.  The workgroups were selected based on a survey of member priorities. Each workgroup includes a parent and an APS or School Health staff co-lead or liaison. Selected resources are included below each Priority Area/Workgroup.
