County prevention coordinator outlines 2027–28 work plan, proposes school support-staff trainings
Summary
Travis Sylvester presented the 2027–2028 County Prevention Program work plan, described program challenges, and proposed expanding prevention trainings to school support staff to broaden trained-adult coverage for students.
Travis Sylvester, the county’s Prevention Coordinator, told the commission he plans to pivot the County Prevention Program for 2027–2028 to increase its impact.
Sylvester outlined struggles the program has faced and described strategies to get better results from the available funding. He proposed bringing support staff in schools into prevention programming and trainings so more adults on campus are trained to support students. Commissioners discussed that approach during the departmental report but did not take a formal vote on program changes.
What happens next: Sylvester will refine the work plan and pursue the expanded training approach in coordination with school officials; no funding changes or formal directives were recorded in the minutes.
