Student presenters describe expansion of NEO anti-fentanyl program; board thanks volunteers
Four student presenters briefed the Okaloosa County School Board during the public comment period about the Not Even Once (NEO) anti-fentanyl outreach program and plans to expand the program locally and beyond.

William Kiker said NEO alumni are continuing the work in multiple locations and that organizers plan to expand online and to conferences. He described local successors who will continue presentations and listed college placements for former team members. Kiker said, "our best estimate is that it was somewhere between 1,502,000 different students heard our NEO presentations"; that numeric phrasing appeared in the transcript as stated by the speaker and should be verified.

Three current or incoming student presenters gave short, first-person remarks about their roles and why they joined the effort. Matthew Moore said he was invited to help and described the presentation's audience-engagement approach. Asher Guillory described his path from HOSA competition to NEO and said he performs one of the program's informational segments. Reagan Matera Everett described sharing stories to convey the community impact of fentanyl-related deaths and said she wanted to bring education to other schools.

Board Chair Dr. White and other members publicly thanked the students for their advocacy. One board member said two minutes was insufficient to cover the work and reported that discussions with the superintendent were already under way to support the program and to coordinate with outside partners. The transcript records no formal referral or vote tied to the student presentations; the item was public comment and no board action was recorded.
