School Capacity Building
It's Time Texas improves how schools implement and promote healthy practices that lead to broader impact in communities. Utilizing the CDC’s Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSSC) framework, It’s Time Texas convenes health partners and connects them with school professionals, families, parent-led groups and students to make health more achievable for all Texans within our educational system. Bridging the gap between a school’s health goals and available resources, It’s Time Texas empowers schools to implement policies, systems, and environmental changes to improve health outcomes.
SHAC Workshop: Advocating for School Health Policy through your SHAC
During this workshop, we learned about bills related to school health that are in the current Texas legislative session. We connected with fellow SHAC leaders and session participants across the state as we review these health bills and identify how they may impact school health statewide. Finally, we were introduced to new strategies to best advocate for school health policy through SHAC activities.

School Health Improvement Plans
At It’s Time Texas, we aim to create a shared value around health and support school districts as they work to enact strategies focused on improving the health and wellness of their educators, staff, students, and families. Our process for supporting our school partners uses a simplified CDC School Health Improvement Plan model through which It’s time Texas will provide capacity support, tools, and resources directly to the school district at no cost.
