Liberty Hill proclaims support for 'Not on Our Watch' cyber-safety program; LHISD students launch cyber-safety clubs
Summary
Mayor Crystal Mancilla read a proclamation recognizing Not On Our Watch and partners for student-led cyber-safety work in Liberty Hill Independent School District and the Girl Scouts of Central Texas partnership to develop a cyber-safety patch and curriculum.
The Liberty Hill City Council read a proclamation on March 26 recognizing Not On Our Watch Texas, the Girl Scouts of Central Texas and the Liberty Hill Independent School District for work on student-led cyber-safety clubs and curriculum.
Mayor Crystal Mancilla read the proclamation, citing the rising threat of online abuse and exploitation and highlighting a Girl Scouts partnership to develop a cyber-safety patch and curriculum that the proclamation said would be available to “up to 1,000,000 girls by this fall.” The proclamation also acknowledged that LHISD had enabled student-led chapters of a cyber-safety club at both middle and high schools and called those student leaders “ambassadors.”
Superintendent Snell (referred to in the meeting) and school counselors and students attended; Michelle (identified in the meeting as a counselor) and others were recognized. Mayor Mancilla presented “hometown hero” awards to school staff and volunteers who helped implement the program locally.
Why it matters
The proclamation signals a formal partnership of the city with community organizations to raise awareness about online safety among youth. The council framed the recognition around education and community engagement rather than a regulatory action.
What was said
Mayor Mancilla: “...our community wholeheartedly supports the endeavors of Not on Our Watch, Not on Our Watch Texas, the Girl Scouts, and LHISD schools, and their noble cause of protecting our children from the dangers of online trafficking and exploitation.”
Superintendent and school staff: City officials singled out LHISD and school staff for enabling student-led clubs and for participating in local events that helped launch the program.
Next steps
The proclamation and awards formalize the city’s public recognition; no city funding or formal contract for the program was recorded on the meeting agenda.
Note on names
The transcript refers to the school official both as “Superintendent Snow” and “Superintendent Snell”; the article preserves the spelling used by speakers but flags the name for confirmation with the district if needed.
