the Hudson Town Hall.
YSB — Sandy reported on Gail's activities. Somerset is going ahead with their sign campaign.
Parents are signing contract. STAND students have done radio interviews. Students also went to
townships around Somerset and had proclamations made for Parents Who Host Lose the Most.
New Richmond continues to be very active. St. Croix Central offers classroom presentations.
Gail is seeing students who are concerned about family chemical abuse. Baldwin- Woodville is
offering more time at middle school. There are a number of students who may attend camp this
summer.
Roger asked Officer Shilts if he has seen a reduction in under -age drinking citations. He has
not. With warmer weather there are actually more. Sandy reported that often there's a spike in
reports as people become aware.
Dana reported that all schools in St. Croix Co. will participate in the March Department of
Public Instruction Youth Risk Behavior on -line survey. Voluntary but most schools will
participate because they won't be able to access certain funding. There is passive parent
permission. Probably not be available by April 15'', but might be available for next YSB grant.
Bill asked Gail if she is having any problems. One school is not making as many referrals as
she would like to see. Counseling is going well but there have been a few crises.
Gail shared concern about the incident in Colorado yesterday. Doug reported that schools are
very difficult to secure. Gail shared that she worked in a school that was secure and it worked.
Joan shared information about the Strengthening Families for Parents and Youth 10 -14 class
that will be held every Monday evening in April at the UWEX Office. She was asked to
provide flyers in Ken's, Bill's mailbox. YSB would also like some.
Dana reported that Hudson students are not doing so well. There is an increase in heroin, meth,
acid, ecstasy use partly because of the easy access to the twin cities. Girls are starting to use
more than guys. All socioeconomic classes are using.
Doug reported on the incident in Somerset where a parent sponsored a party and it was
discovered on FACEBOOK page ... not law enforcement but code of conduct issue with sports.
Other issues include the car accidents where alcohol was provided to minors.
Doug also reported on the Community Health Improvement Process meeting. There was good
attendance. Information can be used for other grant requests. Helps represent cross section of
the county. He will be taking to Tavern League in March.
Joan expressed concern that Glenwood was not involved in the YSB program. Doug shared
that many of the students live in Dunn Co. Sandy shared that there is interest.
Bill asked if other students are using similar drugs like Hudson in other schools. Gail said she
hears about alcohol and marijuana not the other drugs. Ken reported that EMS is seeing more
overuse of alcohol and seizures at home.
