Val Verde County DA’s office delivers drug-edible awareness sessions to San Felipe-Del Rio CISD
Summary
The district recognized the 60th Judicial District attorney and a Border Prosecution Unit investigator for a program that delivered 96 presentations to students and parents about edibles, potency and legal consequences.
The San Felipe-Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District on Monday recognized a drug-prevention program led by the Val Verde County District Attorney’s Office that provided dozens of campus and parent presentations on the risks of edibles and other illicit substances.
District staff identified Suzanne West, 60th Judicial District Attorney, and investigator Duane Maldonado of the Border Prosecution Unit for the presentation series. Administrators said Maldonado delivered presentations at Del Rio High School, Del Rio Early College High School and Del Rio Freshman School and completed 96 separate 30-minute presentations to students during a 16-day span earlier this year.
Trustees and administrators thanked the district attorney’s office for raising awareness about edible drugs, potency and legal consequences and for partnering with the district to reach parents and students. Board members noted that the district’s discipline reports showed drug incidents can occur even at elementary schools and said that earlier parental-conference sessions and school-site presentations help target prevention and safety efforts.
The recognition was ceremonial; no board action was required. The district presented an appreciation certificate to the district attorney’s office.
