00:00:03,910 --> 00:00:32,930
So good afternoon again. Welcome to our 4th and final check meeting of the 25th, 26th school year. Our meeting norms for our virtual setting are, of course, to remain muted unless you are speaking to the audience or have a question. Of course, be respectful of everyone who is presenting and speaking. If you have any questions or anything to share, please feel free to utilize the chat

2
00:00:32,930 --> 00:00:40,570
feature or the raise hand feature to be acknowledged. So today we have a couple

3
00:00:40,570 --> 00:00:44,370
of items to discuss on our agenda but before we go into that I do want to

4
00:00:44,370 --> 00:00:50,010
certainly express our sincerest condolences to the Adams Elementary family. I

5
00:00:50,010 --> 00:00:55,790
know you all may be aware by now that PAISD did lose a staff member. Yesterday

6
00:00:55,790 --> 00:01:02,810
evening Mr. Marlin Sanders was a music teacher at the Adams Elementary school. So we

7
00:01:02,810 --> 00:01:09,210
certainly extend our heartfelt condolences to the Adam's team, our students and staff who

8
00:01:09,210 --> 00:01:12,270
are all impacted by such a sudden and tragic loss.

9
00:01:18,260 --> 00:01:27,860
So today on our agenda, we are going to briefly discuss the unassigned epinephrine

10
00:01:27,860 --> 00:01:37,920
administration policy. I know it's been discussed a few times in the past. We do have assigned medical

11
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:45,800
authorization from a local physician who is encouraging schools to move forward with one

12
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:53,800
of the options available whether it's Neffi or Epipin and there's also another option available

13
00:01:53,800 --> 00:02:02,420
as well. So we'll discuss that and then there are some summer health and wellness supports that

14
00:02:02,420 --> 00:02:06,480
students will have available to them as we prepare to break for the summer.

15
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:13,160
If you have any questions, please feel free to again use the chat or the raise hand

16
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,140
feature to ask those.

17
00:02:17,980 --> 00:02:23,620
So for the unassigned FNF and administration policy, I did receive some information from

18
00:02:23,620 --> 00:02:31,180
a team member and along with the information received was a signed medical authorization

19
00:02:31,180 --> 00:02:38,220
from Dr. Russell Perry in Bowman and this was just to allow schools the

20
00:02:38,220 --> 00:02:46,700
opportunity to have the medicine in stock on campus in case of emergency. I know

21
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:50,800
this is something that the team has discussed. I know some some felt the need

22
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:56,380
for it because we just never know what will happen with students on the

23
00:02:56,380 --> 00:03:07,240
campus from day to day. So if there are any hesitations about it, if there are any I guess

24
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:13,300
statements of support about it, please feel free to unmute. This will allow us some discussion

25
00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:22,200
before we present this to our superintendent and then to the board of trustees for the policy to

26
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,200
be added. So are there any,

27
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,040
let's see, I see a couple raised hands, I'll acknowledge

28
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,580
nurse peacock first and then nurse when nurse peacock feel

29
00:03:37,740 --> 00:03:39,160
free to unmute nurse peacock.

30
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,160
Now it's a law that we have to have the definition.

31
00:03:47,140 --> 00:03:49,660
Well, it's been a law that we had to have

32
00:03:49,660 --> 00:03:58,580
it, but we just did not have a doctor to work with us. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Nurse

33
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:06,740
I see a really neat to have that on campus. I had an incident last week, a student of mine.

34
00:04:06,980 --> 00:04:11,280
She had ate somebody else's lunch and she didn't realize they had peanut butter in it.

35
00:04:11,860 --> 00:04:17,160
And she is highly allergic to peanut butter. So she came, I mean, she came him off as right away

36
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:23,280
because her lips started to swell and she was tingling. And I asked her, I said, well, you didn't

37
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:26,920
bring me an FBP and you didn't tell me, you know, I told her all that. And she said, well, I usually

38
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,240
to carry with me, but just that day she did not have it

39
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,280
because she stayed spending night her grandmother's house.

40
00:04:32,980 --> 00:04:35,580
So I told her, well I have to call her the ambulance

41
00:04:35,580 --> 00:04:37,500
because I cannot take the risk of you having

42
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:39,300
to hear it happen and if I shop,

43
00:04:40,220 --> 00:04:42,340
and she said, well no, just call my grandmother's

44
00:04:42,340 --> 00:04:45,220
and she can bring me something so we call her parents,

45
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,660
call her grandmother and they agree

46
00:04:46,660 --> 00:04:48,280
that she can bring her the medication

47
00:04:48,860 --> 00:04:51,080
because they just lived on the street so that's what happened.

48
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,980
But it really scared me because I don't have

49
00:04:53,980 --> 00:04:55,640
anything available in my office

50
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,420
to do, you know, to help her if it was truly a really bad

51
00:04:59,420 --> 00:05:02,680
of reaction. I mean, the student noticed right away

52
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,680
as soon as she, you know, might take a bite out of it,

53
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,820
she knew that peanut butter and she spit it out,

54
00:05:06,820 --> 00:05:09,600
but even with that, you know, she still had the little,

55
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,240
you know, symptoms, you know, her lip was starting to swell

56
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,260
and, you know, she was filling tingling her foe.

57
00:05:15,260 --> 00:05:17,980
So I was really, I mean, I was very hesitant to call,

58
00:05:18,100 --> 00:05:20,180
number one, you know, because I didn't want her to have that

59
00:05:20,180 --> 00:05:22,240
shocking idea of anything to help her with.

60
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,380
But thank goodness her grandmother came

61
00:05:24,380 --> 00:05:28,320
to the rescue right away and should take the medication and if you help

62
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,060
there are some signs. We could avoid that those accidents that we have on in

63
00:05:33,060 --> 00:05:40,040
our office in those emergencies. Okay and thank you for sharing for sharing that

64
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,180
I'm sure you know some other members of the team may have had some similar

65
00:05:44,180 --> 00:05:49,540
instances with students and or staffs or even visitors you know we never know

66
00:05:49,540 --> 00:06:09,480
what will take place. So I always say it's better to be safe than sorry, have it and not need it then need it and not have it. So I am all I'm all for for for this and thank you nurse peacock for reminding us of the updated legislation regarding this as well.

67
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:15,760
Now, I do know that there are some options that are available now, whereas before we

68
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:21,740
rely mostly on the FEPN, but I do know that Neffi in schools is an option now, so are there

69
00:06:21,740 --> 00:06:31,580
any preferences in regards to which unassigned medication that we get

70
00:06:35,870 --> 00:06:37,630
any preferences?

71
00:06:37,630 --> 00:06:41,500
is your pick out

72
00:06:46,460 --> 00:06:51,620
probably the epinephrine to start off with first I would think before we do the

73
00:06:51,620 --> 00:07:01,060
nephrine and then the the artist was for nephrine and epinephrine. The order of let me pull it

74
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,380
because it was just for epinephrine and that's the one we need to go with.

75
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:08,940
I think it's for nasal too.

76
00:07:08,940 --> 00:07:15,940
Yeah, it's for the Navy. The Navy, the Navy nasal spray. Yeah. Yeah.

77
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:24,780
The basic, the basic, the nasal spray. So you probably be more expensive too. I'm just saying.

78
00:07:24,780 --> 00:07:30,360
Well, it's for it's it's free schools. Yeah, there's a program where you can get two

79
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:40,200
cartons for your school for for free. And then if you have to use it, you know, of course you have to report that it's been used and then they'll send you a

80
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:47,780
replacements. It's kind of similar to the Narcane. I would like to be better, the nasal would be better.

81
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,520
Is it easier to train? Yes, it is.

82
00:07:53,250 --> 00:08:08,710
Okay. So, these are all considerations that we will make when we bring this to Dr. Portery for the attention of the board of trustees. Of course, we can't implement a policy without,

83
00:08:08,710 --> 00:08:16,130
about, you know, without going through that process, but it is supported by legislation

84
00:08:16,130 --> 00:08:20,030
that we should have a problem at all, we're getting this, getting this in place.

85
00:08:23,150 --> 00:08:26,250
Any, anybody else on that?

86
00:08:27,030 --> 00:08:31,210
Any questions about that,

87
00:08:36,690 --> 00:08:37,050
okay?

88
00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:44,290
Well, I do want to thank Nurse Trent for sharing, Nurse Venus trended, did email me, and

89
00:08:44,290 --> 00:08:46,890
Senators give us some information about this.

90
00:08:47,090 --> 00:08:55,230
She also sent us over the signed authorization from Dr. Russell Perry, who is a local doctor

91
00:08:55,230 --> 00:09:00,330
here in Beaumont, and he signed the form for local school districts to use.

92
00:09:00,590 --> 00:09:03,970
So thank you for sharing that information to help us start this process.

93
00:09:05,170 --> 00:09:11,950
Of course, I'll update you all when we return in the fall with any information or any changes

94
00:09:12,990 --> 00:09:16,710
that have taken place over the summer regarding this policy.

95
00:09:20,090 --> 00:09:22,930
All righty, summer student health and wellness supports.

96
00:09:23,210 --> 00:09:29,370
I'm not sure if you all have seen yet the advertisement of mental health support

97
00:09:29,370 --> 00:09:32,690
and services that are available to our students even through the summer.

98
00:09:33,330 --> 00:09:35,590
You all may be familiar with T-Chat.

99
00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:47,030
it's Texas child access through telemedicine or telehealth, but it's basically an

100
00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:51,910
initiative, a mental health initiative with UTMB and students have access to

101
00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:57,190
free mental health support throughout the year. So that extends into the

102
00:09:57,190 --> 00:10:04,110
summer. I did ask for our media team to share that resource with parents. So I've

103
00:10:04,110 --> 00:10:08,370
seen it come across social media, I believe it's something that the team will be putting

104
00:10:08,370 --> 00:10:13,410
out periodically over the summer. Just in case we have some students who need some support

105
00:10:13,410 --> 00:10:18,750
and are not able to see their school counselor or their school social worker because we're on break.

106
00:10:19,310 --> 00:10:27,370
They can still receive the support that they need at home through this virtual telehealth program.

107
00:10:27,370 --> 00:10:31,590
and so they have licensed professional counselors,

108
00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:34,170
they have psychiatrists, psychologists,

109
00:10:34,470 --> 00:10:38,090
on staff, all through UCNB, all free of charge.

110
00:10:38,650 --> 00:10:40,550
They don't ask for any insurance information

111
00:10:40,550 --> 00:10:41,550
or anything like that.

112
00:10:41,950 --> 00:10:45,890
The only requirement is that the patient be a student

113
00:10:45,890 --> 00:10:50,930
in a school district that is a T-Chat partner.

114
00:10:51,450 --> 00:10:54,370
And so any student in PAISD would meet their criteria.

115
00:10:54,370 --> 00:11:09,650
So if you know you I know a lot of time students visit your clinics and and share things with you if you have students in mind who may benefit from this while we're on break when they're not able to access their school resources please please please

116
00:11:09,650 --> 00:11:29,130
Um, direct them if they're of age or, um, if age appropriate, if not direct their parent to our website to our social media or even to the school counselor before the end of school so that the referral can be made to teach at once we make the referral.

117
00:11:29,130 --> 00:11:40,550
then UTMB pretty much takes over, they make contact with the student's family directly where hands off, all we have to do is simply take the first step and make the referral.

118
00:11:41,210 --> 00:11:45,650
So that is something that's available free of charge to students through the summer.

119
00:11:46,950 --> 00:11:58,230
They'll do virtual appointments, all they would need is a cell phone or a computer to go to Zoom and they'll have a private session with their counselor or signage.

120
00:11:58,230 --> 00:12:02,430
our psychologists to support them through the summer.

121
00:12:03,110 --> 00:12:06,990
So please help students and parents to be reminded of that.

122
00:12:07,950 --> 00:12:11,310
Again, you may have some students that you already worked closely with,

123
00:12:11,310 --> 00:12:17,350
who may be able to utilize that support while we are on summer break.

124
00:12:18,190 --> 00:12:18,790
Okay.

125
00:12:19,430 --> 00:12:21,910
Are there any questions about tea chat?

126
00:12:29,070 --> 00:12:33,970
Okay. Just as a reminder, we are hosting our summer programs.

127
00:12:33,970 --> 00:12:37,990
So we do have summer school, which will actually start on Monday.

128
00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:43,650
We're in a very tight turnaround this year due to how our regular year calendar fail.

129
00:12:44,290 --> 00:12:48,870
So thank you to all those who haven't agreed to work the summer program.

130
00:12:49,570 --> 00:12:53,150
Again, if you come in contact with any students through summer school who may be.

131
00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:59,690
You know, able to utilize the teaching service bombing refer them as well.

132
00:13:00,590 --> 00:13:07,290
Summer school for those who just want to know will be from June 1st through the 25th.

133
00:13:08,190 --> 00:13:14,550
It is Monday through Thursday when we are going to be on certain campuses this year.

134
00:13:14,850 --> 00:13:19,710
So the campus is open for elementary, will be Adams, Travis and Washington.

135
00:13:20,510 --> 00:13:26,310
Middle school will be Jefferson and then high school will be of course Memorial High and Wilson

136
00:13:26,310 --> 00:13:33,050
in early college high school will also have programs at Wheatley as well as PAC, the alternative

137
00:13:33,050 --> 00:13:39,810
campus. So not all campuses will be open for summer programs but those that I just named will be

138
00:13:40,350 --> 00:13:47,210
we will have nurses on staff and every on every site to serve students throughout the summer.

139
00:13:49,540 --> 00:13:50,980
Nurse Cole, I see your hand.

140
00:13:55,370 --> 00:13:58,310
I know it's kind of late for this school year but I was wondering if

141
00:13:58,310 --> 00:14:01,910
there's any way since they're combining the school that they can put kind of a

142
00:14:01,910 --> 00:14:07,430
health form in with their registration instead of having nurses seeing students

143
00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:12,670
blinding with no information on those particular students. I know at this school

144
00:14:12,670 --> 00:14:19,910
I think we have over 250 students signed up for the summer program and our nurse

145
00:14:19,910 --> 00:14:25,530
Thomas from Wheatley is doing Jefferson and she's not familiar with any of those

146
00:14:25,530 --> 00:14:31,150
students. So for the future could we kind of get something where the parent has

147
00:14:31,150 --> 00:14:37,550
to feel that I own line? Yes ma'am this year as a part of the registration form

148
00:14:37,550 --> 00:14:43,270
for summer school we did include some some questions now I don't think it's the

149
00:14:43,270 --> 00:14:51,510
full emergency care form like in its entirety but we did add some more questions

150
00:14:51,510 --> 00:14:58,470
on the summer school registration form to get more updated contact information for the parents and like emergency

151
00:15:00,460 --> 00:15:30,440
Emergency, you know, information. So I don't think it was the full emergency care form, but the technology team did kind of add a little bit to that registration form to get more information about the students and their needs. And in addition to the year coming up, is there any way we can put this form as a part of the registration process for the upcoming year? Because I'm not getting a good return on the students bringing those forms

152
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:39,300
Yes, ma'am. It should be the emergency care form should be a part of the registration process.

153
00:15:41,100 --> 00:15:45,100
I don't register anybody, so I don't get to actually see the form live.

154
00:15:45,660 --> 00:15:49,700
But nurse Owens has her in there, but I think she may have a little information about that.

155
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:55,120
Nurse Cole, this year I had a registered my baby, so that's how I know.

156
00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:01,900
It is included emergency care form and the concern about including in registration. So next year on school starts

157
00:16:01,900 --> 00:16:07,480
We want to help need paper family or all included within a registered term for

158
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,120
School in the fall. Okay, and we'll just need to know how to access that

159
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,400
Yeah, the front attendance clerk

160
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:22,680
They said they have to do a train and they'll show us directly like which button to click and you will just see it when you go in

161
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,660
to do your assessment and charting in the eSchools.

162
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,380
It should be easy for you to see,

163
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,900
and I trust the dig up papers all day.

164
00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:33,260
Thank you very much.

165
00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:35,800
Thank you for your question.

166
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:36,820
Mercier Bert.

167
00:16:41,470 --> 00:16:44,690
I wanted to say, if you have access to power school,

168
00:16:45,150 --> 00:16:47,590
you'll be able to see those registration forms.

169
00:16:48,130 --> 00:16:50,570
That's how I've seen them all, all during the year.

170
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:54,030
They use everything they turn into the registrar

171
00:16:54,430 --> 00:16:56,330
is in power school and you can see.

172
00:16:56,330 --> 00:16:59,090
So if it's in that packet it should be on power school.

173
00:17:00,330 --> 00:17:00,770
Okay.

174
00:17:02,370 --> 00:17:03,250
Thank you.

175
00:17:03,530 --> 00:17:06,770
I'm not sure if everyone has access.

176
00:17:08,310 --> 00:17:08,970
Or not.

177
00:17:09,210 --> 00:17:11,570
That may vary by campus, but yes,

178
00:17:11,650 --> 00:17:14,330
man, I do know what you're what you're speaking of.

179
00:17:15,210 --> 00:17:15,270
Okay.

180
00:17:17,210 --> 00:17:17,950
Nurse, when?

181
00:17:18,450 --> 00:17:19,890
Yes, it was my next question.

182
00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:21,970
Do we have do we get access to that?

183
00:17:22,090 --> 00:17:24,150
Because I know I can't see anything from the.

184
00:17:26,830 --> 00:17:33,830
It may vary by campus, so I can't guarantee that everyone has access to what I had to.

185
00:17:34,050 --> 00:17:37,930
My registrar instructed me on the person I can't think I think her name may be big

186
00:17:37,930 --> 00:17:38,290
to her.

187
00:17:38,310 --> 00:17:42,690
I can't remember her name, but all I had to do was request to be an email and the lady

188
00:17:42,690 --> 00:17:47,630
gave me access to it and put a pass word in there and then I could see everything in

189
00:17:47,630 --> 00:17:48,250
power school.

190
00:17:48,790 --> 00:17:50,010
It was probably Ms. Vanessa.

191
00:17:50,550 --> 00:17:51,950
You just have to ask for it.

192
00:17:52,210 --> 00:17:53,490
What's it, Ms. Vanessa Martinez?

193
00:17:53,490 --> 00:18:10,310
Yes, sounds about this sounds like her. Yes, ma'am. Yeah, so that's something that you are interested in. I would suggest just, you know, reaching out, making sure that your campus leader is is aware of that and Miss Vanessa Martinez is our

194
00:18:10,310 --> 00:18:12,470
or a PMS coordinator for the district,

195
00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:16,390
and she does handle those systems and databases.

196
00:18:17,890 --> 00:18:18,690
Nurse Peacock,

197
00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:27,050
Nurse Peacock.

198
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,940
Like, when we get ready to just bring the trust

199
00:18:32,940 --> 00:18:35,240
with the process at the beginning of the school year,

200
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,740
like a lot of kids are diabetics and a lot of kids

201
00:18:39,140 --> 00:18:42,260
like that I get sometimes make me trade care

202
00:18:42,260 --> 00:18:45,380
or make me get stressed from the two-feetings.

203
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,720
Some of those, if we can just write on the side

204
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:55,100
or call and let me know because I can't look at everything when I first get here and I need to talk

205
00:18:55,100 --> 00:19:00,780
with those parents and make sure I got all the information. So I think if you got a child

206
00:19:00,780 --> 00:19:06,200
getting the two feeding or a diabetic, there's some way we need to let this school know when we

207
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:11,740
get those choice because I have six, seven, and eight and I can just look at that all at one time.

208
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:18,480
Yes, ma'am. I would also accept there are any, you know, severe cases or special cases on your

209
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:23,300
campus that you let the perceiving nurse know, you know, if a student is

210
00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:29,620
transitioning off on campus to another. Even for summer school, like if you know

211
00:19:29,620 --> 00:19:35,380
that you have some students who are expected to attend summer school and they

212
00:19:35,380 --> 00:19:39,400
are going to be on another campus this summer, especially at that elementary

213
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,900
level, even middle school. Please let those let the nurse know the summer school

214
00:19:44,900 --> 00:19:51,020
nurse know to be on the lookout or be alerted for certain students and certain circumstances.

215
00:19:52,620 --> 00:19:57,200
Nurse Peacock, you have another question or comment? I see your hand again.

216
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,320
It's regarded another subject. Okay.

217
00:20:03,060 --> 00:20:06,540
Well, can I say it now? Yes ma'am, go ahead.

218
00:20:07,220 --> 00:20:10,760
Okay, about the choking device that's in the cafeteria.

219
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:21,500
I want to know the process like once we use it are we going to get another one because you can use it over and over again.

220
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:29,840
That will have to be followed up on with our custodial maintenance department.

221
00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:36,840
Those devices were ordered through Mr. Rito, our custodial supervisor.

222
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:42,020
And so I'm not sure what the replacement will look like.

223
00:20:42,740 --> 00:20:47,120
I believe to my knowledge just one has been ordered so far for every campus.

224
00:20:47,780 --> 00:20:52,080
So that may be a discussion that that we need to have a going forward,

225
00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:56,760
regarding the maintenance of those devices and the replacement of those devices.

226
00:20:57,980 --> 00:21:00,420
In the education to the staff.

227
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,460
Yes, in the education, the training.

228
00:21:02,980 --> 00:21:05,860
So that'll also be something that we discussed when we return.

229
00:21:05,860 --> 00:21:12,720
from summer break. I know we have our annual safety trainings that we do every year with

230
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:20,000
our staff, so we will have to add if we move forward with the undersigned epinephrine and

231
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:30,040
if you know with the live vac type of device that we have now the choking assistance device.

232
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:35,720
So the trainings will look a little different in addition to what we already require

233
00:21:35,860 --> 00:21:39,840
We will likely have to add those to the list as well.

234
00:21:43,100 --> 00:21:43,860
Nurse Tran.

235
00:21:46,540 --> 00:21:49,880
Is there a policy in place for the choking device?

236
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,600
I believe so.

237
00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:57,720
And that again, legislation requires us to have these things now.

238
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,280
So that's something that we don't really have an option on.

239
00:22:01,900 --> 00:22:04,800
That's only if it's donated to us, isn't it?

240
00:22:06,140 --> 00:22:08,360
Or can we buy it out of our own budget?

241
00:22:09,020 --> 00:22:10,160
Yeah, they were purchased.

242
00:22:11,940 --> 00:22:12,420
Yeah.

243
00:22:14,750 --> 00:22:15,070
Yeah.

244
00:22:17,390 --> 00:22:19,290
Did everyone get a life back machine?

245
00:22:19,290 --> 00:22:20,710
I didn't get one.

246
00:22:21,550 --> 00:22:24,130
Um, they started the delivery.

247
00:22:24,310 --> 00:22:27,050
I cannot say that every campus has received it yet.

248
00:22:27,610 --> 00:22:30,430
I'll have to follow up again with Mr. Rito and his team.

249
00:22:30,430 --> 00:22:32,350
They were the ones putting them out.

250
00:22:32,710 --> 00:22:34,370
If you have not received one,

251
00:22:34,490 --> 00:22:38,450
and it should be in the capital in the cafeteria area, I believe.

252
00:22:38,450 --> 00:22:43,690
So it may not actually make it to your office, but if you have not gotten one, I'm more than

253
00:22:43,690 --> 00:22:45,030
certain one is coming your way.

254
00:22:45,670 --> 00:22:46,790
Okay, thank you.

255
00:22:46,870 --> 00:22:47,490
You're welcome.

256
00:22:48,830 --> 00:22:49,670
Nurse Cole.

257
00:22:53,650 --> 00:22:54,190
One more thing.

258
00:22:54,590 --> 00:22:59,730
Does anyone know where our updated policies are, are they online for the nurses, because

259
00:22:59,730 --> 00:23:04,930
the book that's in my office, the policy is like from 2019.

260
00:23:04,930 --> 00:23:11,070
team. So do we have some updated policies that's online from like 2025-26?

261
00:23:11,870 --> 00:23:17,210
Our district policies? No, you have to have nursing policies for everything we do.

262
00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:27,520
I would have what's in the red manual as well,

263
00:23:31,250 --> 00:23:33,870
I'm not sure. But I know our district policies

264
00:23:33,870 --> 00:23:35,330
and everything are updated online.

265
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,380
So that'll be something to look into as well.

266
00:23:41,620 --> 00:23:43,720
Where did you receive the last copy from?

267
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:45,460
That was here.

268
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,660
I've never received the last copy that was in my office

269
00:23:49,660 --> 00:23:52,160
when I moved over from the cake building.

270
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:53,160
Got you.

271
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:53,740
OK.

272
00:23:55,380 --> 00:23:55,860
OK.

273
00:23:56,180 --> 00:23:57,380
And is it that red manual?

274
00:23:58,020 --> 00:23:58,860
Like the handbook?

275
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,140
Is that what you're talking about?

276
00:24:01,140 --> 00:24:02,420
No, I don't know if that are in there.

277
00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:04,960
No, it's a red book.

278
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:11,520
that's nursing policy. It's not district policy. It's basically, um, politics for the nursing.

279
00:24:15,630 --> 00:24:16,690
Okay, nurse Trin.

280
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,460
Nurse Chloe, you're probably thinking about the school nurse handbook that was

281
00:24:22,460 --> 00:24:28,500
given to us by nurse Lake, because each campus has that. And like you said, it is not up to date.

282
00:24:30,450 --> 00:24:33,490
Yeah, I think that that is what I'm talking about. It's read it.

283
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,120
The one that I received from

284
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:48,040
She's actually in a binder that's been printed out of the print shop because she's out of the red book, but I know for sure the queen has one when I left there.

285
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,720
Okay, I think we're speaking about the same.

286
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,260
The same document.

287
00:24:59,220 --> 00:25:00,060
That's what I have.

288
00:25:00,660 --> 00:25:04,440
So we may have to take a look at updating that.

289
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,280
I

290
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,420
have a red binder, the red, it's fine that you're talking about.

291
00:25:13,100 --> 00:25:14,100
Yeah. Yeah.

292
00:25:15,220 --> 00:25:17,900
The red binder is not our policy.

293
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:20,540
The red binder we develop was guidelines.

294
00:25:21,460 --> 00:25:23,020
That there are only guidelines.

295
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,900
The one that you're talking about late.

296
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,680
And I think Regina, because Mrs. Hudson had got a group together.

297
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,540
And we didn't do the policies.

298
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:34,820
We did guidelines.

299
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:49,120
So those are not the nursing policies and the state guidelines if you look at the book with the one I'm referring to the real one, it may not be the same like yours Dr. Jones.

300
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,560
the policies that we do have are the like the policies related to student health and

301
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,780
wellness are on our district website. Those are our waterproof policies.

302
00:26:19,780 --> 00:26:25,740
Okay. So that's and that's why I asked where we you know discussing those because those are

303
00:26:25,740 --> 00:26:31,480
constantly updated and are available on our website. If you go under school board you will see

304
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,520
board of policies and there is a section that deals with student health and wellness.

305
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:47,140
We we had tried one time to get a nursing policy and I had got a lot of people that

306
00:26:47,140 --> 00:26:56,220
region was using bottle, I mean, uh, uh, uh, uh, nursing, uh, policies, they changed

307
00:26:56,220 --> 00:27:01,380
some things to fit their needs. And they had sent me the whole policy book and I had

308
00:27:01,380 --> 00:27:05,220
gave it to Miss Hudson, I think, but nothing was ever done.

309
00:27:05,660 --> 00:27:05,900
All

310
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:18,780
right. Was it a physical copy or like an email? It was email. Okay. You think you

311
00:27:18,780 --> 00:27:22,580
still have that? Just take a look for me and let me know.

312
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:34,020
Nurse Tran and then we'll move into our community events.

313
00:27:35,260 --> 00:27:40,360
Nurse Tran. I believe Carrie Miners at Region 5 did

314
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:49,360
share with us, Selves B's policy book. If I can find out, we'll definitely share with you Dr. Jones.

315
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,320
Okay. Sounds good. Thank you.

316
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,280
All

317
00:27:54,680 --> 00:28:05,840
righty, at this time we'll move into announcements and reminders. I do see that we have some of our community partners on today, so I certainly want to, um,

318
00:29:23,540 --> 00:29:24,360
can you all hear me?

319
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:26,380
Yeah.

320
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:27,100
Yeah.

321
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:34,180
Oh wait, my computer is feeling like me today and I'm so sorry. I think I just had a little glitch.

322
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,040
I do apologize. Everybody was frozen. I was like, can they hear me?

323
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:48,460
Okay, I suddenly want to thank our community fighters who are on with us today.

324
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:54,400
I do apologize if I interrupted anybody when I touched out.

325
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:59,960
but I did see Mrs. Smith on the city of Coral Actors, so it's...

326
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,740
Ms. Smith, please feel free to unmute and share any updates you may have with us.

327
00:30:07,190 --> 00:30:29,550
Wow. Good afternoon. Actually, we don't have any. Of course, we are just preparing for a summer youth health camp that we're going to have in July, July the 9th. And we will be sending out a communication to miss a lot. I think she still will be, you know, posting things out. It will be for children 8 to 11.

328
00:30:29,550 --> 00:30:38,390
And my four hours just coming to the health department and learning some public health information and stuff, but we'll be sending that out.

329
00:30:38,490 --> 00:30:46,490
That's about it and just other, you know, other than preparing for seeing children during the summer for their vaccinations.

330
00:30:47,930 --> 00:30:49,550
Yes, ma'am.

331
00:30:49,550 --> 00:30:59,310
Okay, and we'll also have Ms. Lot click something out like as we approach the end of June,

332
00:30:59,770 --> 00:31:04,350
we may start putting it out earlier though just to hopefully get a better response.

333
00:31:05,070 --> 00:31:09,530
Reminded parents that you know immunizations are part of the child's back to school routine

334
00:31:09,890 --> 00:31:16,270
and so they do need to get those done so I do have some graphics that she shares every

335
00:31:16,270 --> 00:31:21,110
year. So we'll ask her to start putting those out as well. If you all have any particular

336
00:31:21,110 --> 00:31:26,870
graphics in particular that you want us to put out or any special times, I know sometimes

337
00:31:26,870 --> 00:31:32,610
you guys may stay open a little later. So if there are any special times or special dates where you

338
00:31:32,610 --> 00:31:38,030
all are doing your clinics, let us know and we'll be sure to put that out. We definitely will share.

339
00:31:38,270 --> 00:31:44,990
Summers usually quiet and we, you know, we don't have a lot of parents coming in during the summer.

340
00:31:44,990 --> 00:31:47,150
and that's really the best time to come because the way

341
00:31:47,150 --> 00:31:49,990
this shorter, but we will definitely,

342
00:31:50,170 --> 00:31:51,670
and we will probably be in different,

343
00:31:51,890 --> 00:31:53,990
doing different community events too.

344
00:31:54,150 --> 00:31:56,350
I know that we will, whenever the back-to-school

345
00:31:56,350 --> 00:31:58,590
event that takes place at the high school,

346
00:31:58,770 --> 00:32:01,770
I'm sure we'll be there doing vaccinations,

347
00:32:02,150 --> 00:32:03,870
and there's a couple of other places,

348
00:32:03,970 --> 00:32:07,410
I think Willie Carter, but that he holds at,

349
00:32:07,630 --> 00:32:10,670
I think he said he was connecting with Linda's

350
00:32:10,670 --> 00:32:14,570
lighthouse this year, so, but whenever even he holds,

351
00:32:14,570 --> 00:32:17,730
we will be there doing immunizations as well.

352
00:32:18,530 --> 00:32:19,490
Awesome, awesome.

353
00:32:19,770 --> 00:32:22,830
And then I came across something that piqued my interest.

354
00:32:23,050 --> 00:32:26,470
It was a gardening initiative.

355
00:32:26,930 --> 00:32:28,990
Is that with the city of Khorator as well?

356
00:32:29,570 --> 00:32:30,130
Yes, ma'am.

357
00:32:30,690 --> 00:32:34,130
We have a community garden in the back of the health department.

358
00:32:35,670 --> 00:32:36,630
Excuse me.

359
00:32:36,830 --> 00:32:37,850
I mean, we have great.

360
00:32:41,010 --> 00:32:42,670
But there are classes.

361
00:32:43,970 --> 00:32:50,990
that are done on Wednesdays and so anytime you see anything on Facebook, please go free and of

362
00:32:50,990 --> 00:33:02,790
course it is open to the public. Thank you so much. All righty good afternoon Mr. Pearson with

363
00:33:02,790 --> 00:33:08,470
the YMCA. Hey hey look at I pulled over to a safe spot so I'm not driving and trying to talk

364
00:33:08,470 --> 00:33:12,250
because, you know, my hands move when I talk and it just be an awful, awful thing.

365
00:33:13,410 --> 00:33:19,270
It's, yeah, so it's summertime and just as Smith said that it slows down the health department, busy at the Y.

366
00:33:19,810 --> 00:33:22,090
So we've got summer day camp coming up.

367
00:33:22,610 --> 00:33:24,890
It is passport to fun as a theme this year.

368
00:33:25,110 --> 00:33:33,490
So the kids that we do are going to a different country every week and getting their passport stamped and learning about culture and sports and food and all that sort of fun stuff.

369
00:33:33,490 --> 00:33:38,870
So that's summer day camp, and then also we've got, you know, swimming lessons.

370
00:33:39,150 --> 00:33:45,130
This will be our fifth year with the City of New Orleans pool, plus the YMCA pool,

371
00:33:45,610 --> 00:33:49,050
and we have swimming lessons in the morning and the evening and the middle of the afternoon.

372
00:33:49,790 --> 00:33:53,530
So there's no excuse for somebody to not find time to learn how to swim.

373
00:33:54,490 --> 00:33:56,590
With that, I'd like to talk about a couple of different grants.

374
00:33:57,230 --> 00:34:02,850
We have a grant specifically for foster children, which allows them to have free swimming lessons.

375
00:34:02,850 --> 00:34:08,930
So if you've got foster kids at your campus, I will share with Dr. Jones the flyer that

376
00:34:08,930 --> 00:34:13,570
has the registration information for the foster kids, as well as just the general schedule

377
00:34:13,570 --> 00:34:16,430
for all those some lessons.

378
00:34:16,670 --> 00:34:20,910
And then we've got another one coming up that is a grant for adults to learn how to swim.

379
00:34:21,610 --> 00:34:25,630
We know that children whose parents don't know how to swim, don't go to swimming lessons.

380
00:34:25,910 --> 00:34:31,290
So we'd like to try and help break that cycle and that one we're still waiting on the funding

381
00:34:31,290 --> 00:34:35,730
We'll get the word out some more once we get that program up and running, but those are

382
00:34:35,730 --> 00:34:37,310
two big grants for the summer.

383
00:34:37,730 --> 00:34:44,050
And with all of our programs, whether it's summer day camp or some lessons or even after

384
00:34:44,050 --> 00:34:48,970
school, please encourage your families to come to the YMCA.

385
00:34:49,490 --> 00:34:52,550
Nobody has denied the ability to participate due to an inability to pay.

386
00:34:53,010 --> 00:34:55,630
We provide financial assistance so that everybody can participate.

387
00:34:56,230 --> 00:35:00,730
So we want to make sure that it's accessible and that children learn how to swim, adults learn

388
00:35:00,730 --> 00:35:04,610
out of swim and kids aren't sitting at home in front of the screens while their parents

389
00:35:04,610 --> 00:35:06,230
are working in the summertime.

390
00:35:07,090 --> 00:35:09,090
So those are kind of the big things that are happening.

391
00:35:09,670 --> 00:35:17,430
On June 6th, we will be at Port Nature's High School doing a bicycle rodeo, and that is

392
00:35:17,430 --> 00:35:18,630
free to anybody in the community.

393
00:35:19,210 --> 00:35:23,570
You can go to the Port Nature's Police Department website and sign up.

394
00:35:24,130 --> 00:35:28,030
You know, we're seeing more and more kids out on e-bikes, right?

395
00:35:28,030 --> 00:35:34,250
And on one hand they're just menaces to society out there cutting in out of cars on the other hand

396
00:35:34,250 --> 00:35:38,310
But come on folks. Let's be excited by the fact that we have children outside again

397
00:35:39,010 --> 00:35:42,690
And so we want to teach kids how to how to use the road safely

398
00:35:43,370 --> 00:35:48,230
So that everybody's protected the drivers the kids and guys are out riding their bikes like me

399
00:35:49,230 --> 00:35:52,710
So so that's June 6th that will be a Saturday

400
00:35:52,710 --> 00:35:57,690
today, the city of Groves has reached out and once the wine stated do a bike rodeo with

401
00:35:57,690 --> 00:36:01,610
them as well, so we may have something over close to report Arthur. And who knows, maybe

402
00:36:01,610 --> 00:36:06,610
eventually we'll do something in report Arthur, but we have invited a PNG first, so that's

403
00:36:06,610 --> 00:36:12,330
where we're starting. But we use the Texas safe cyclist curriculum and again, it's about

404
00:36:12,730 --> 00:36:18,410
teaching people how to be, how to use the roads correctly, how to be out there and have fun

405
00:36:18,410 --> 00:36:24,050
and be safe at the same time because you know here's my here's my stat for

406
00:36:24,050 --> 00:36:28,750
Port Arthur. We have 300 miles in 40 miles of paved road in Port Arthur and less

407
00:36:28,750 --> 00:36:30,090
than three are dedicated for bicycles.

408
00:36:32,100 --> 00:36:34,540
Hold that you're at for a second and most

409
00:36:34,540 --> 00:36:37,420
it seems like a lot of people don't know which side of the road they're supposed to

410
00:36:37,420 --> 00:36:40,280
ride on because I'm encountering people on night to have and they're going the

411
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:49,760
wrong way all the time. And when you're on a bike you go with the traffic when you're

412
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:56,960
summer day camp, swimming lessons, and bicycle safety, we want to cover it all, safe in the water, safe on the road.

413
00:36:58,580 --> 00:37:10,860
Alrighty, and again, thank you, Mr. Pearson. Again, I'm extending the same opportunity to you, you know, any graphics that you have for us, please, you know, feel free to share.

414
00:37:10,860 --> 00:37:15,800
there will axi media team to get those posted on social media and to our website.

415
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:21,340
At one time they had a tab dedicated to the YMCA, I believe it was under our parents'

416
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:22,480
page.

417
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:22,800
Okay.

418
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:23,660
There was a tab.

419
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:26,160
I'll get those flyers too.

420
00:37:26,260 --> 00:37:29,620
As soon as they get back into the office, I actually had them sent and they're sitting

421
00:37:29,620 --> 00:37:34,480
on my computer right now and I got you got caught out of the office for the meeting.

422
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:36,840
So on my way back, I'll get them to you.

423
00:37:37,620 --> 00:37:38,660
All righty, sounds good.

424
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:39,520
Thank you so much.

425
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:47,540
Thank you. Okay. Are there any questions as we prepare to wrap up our final meeting of this school year?

426
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:56,540
Any questions, any, any additional comments? I know we have some things to look into in regard to the policy

427
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:04,760
of making sure everyone has access to the information that has been approved and those policies that we do have in place

428
00:38:05,340 --> 00:38:10,600
regarding student health and wellness and I'll certainly take it to consideration the discussion

429
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:16,880
from today regarding the undersigned epinephrine administration and then just as one final reminder,

430
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:23,940
please if you have any students in mind who may be fine benefit in the TCHAT service this summer,

431
00:38:23,940 --> 00:38:32,340
please do not hesitate to refer them before the school year is out. If there is nothing else,

432
00:38:32,340 --> 00:38:36,520
I would like to just again thank you all for your time and your participation this

433
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:44,040
school year. Of course as a council it is our objective to discuss those topics

434
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,720
that are in our students' best interests when we you know consider their

435
00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:52,120
health and their safety and their wellness. So thank you for dedicating your time to

436
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,820
this council for participating, joining the virtual meetings and engaging in the

437
00:38:56,820 --> 00:39:01,580
discussion as we you know try to make the best decisions for our students.

438
00:39:01,580 --> 00:39:08,760
So thank you, Mr. Mayor, and thank you all for your support in helping us to do that.

439
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:14,160
So without further ado, I will say we are adjourned if there's nothing else.

440
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,120
It is 357.

441
00:39:16,340 --> 00:39:17,800
I hope you all have a wonderful summer.

442
00:39:17,980 --> 00:39:18,340
Be safe.

443
00:39:18,500 --> 00:39:19,120
Get some rest.

444
00:39:19,420 --> 00:39:26,300
We'll deserve rest and enjoy your break sometime with your families and have some fun in the

445
00:39:26,300 --> 00:39:26,700
sun.

446
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:28,280
You too.

447
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:29,880
Thank you.

448
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:30,620
Thank you.

449
00:39:30,620 --> 00:39:32,300
That made me have a good one.
