Parent warns board of on-campus drug incidents after child hospitalized
Summary
At the Fort Bragg Unified board meeting, a parent urged the district to strengthen oversight and reporting after saying her child "received a very high concentrated THC hit" at school and was taken to the ER; board members acknowledged the concern and asked staff to ensure safety information is reflected in surveys and future reports.
A parent speaking during the public-comment period told the Fort Bragg Unified School District board that her child recently "received a very high concentrated THC hit ... ended up in the ER about a month ago," and said she and other parents are seeing increased fights and drug activity on campuses.
The parent, identified in the transcript only as a public commenter, asked the board what oversight exists, whether incident reports are written, and whether staff or the district office are receiving alerts about campus safety. Board members thanked the speaker and agreed to highlight safety and attendance questions in upcoming surveys so the district can better track student concerns and incidents. The superintendent said staff will make sure the question about feeling safe is included in future student surveys and that resources such as the Chill Village and counseling supports will be publicized for students who need help.
Board members asked staff to include safety metrics with future data presentations so trustees and the public can see whether reports of violence or drug incidents are increasing or declining. The record shows no formal investigation outcome reported during the meeting; trustees framed the remarks as public comment and directed staff to follow up with relevant data and survey items.
