During the Jan. 27 meeting the Natrona County Community Juvenile Services Board discussed current trends and initiatives, including persistent vaping incidents in local schools and recent youth programming.
Board materials noted that the Natrona County School District (NCSD) has continued to see an inordinate amount of vape use in schools.

The meeting record did not include direct quotes or a formal motion on the ordinance letter; the item was discussed as a potential next step.
Members also reported on youth programming: Mercer and YEC activities were mentioned, and the Meth Conference Youth Track was described as well‑received by students and presented as a full‑day track. Board members were asked to send agency updates via email to ensure coordination and follow‑up.
