Counselor Jodi Fatheree and six students from Zadok Casey Middle School spoke to the board on Oct. 9 about Red Ribbon Week, scheduled Oct. 23–31, 2025. The group presented the proclamation and described this year's theme: "Unity in our community, be drug free." The students and staff outlined planned activities at each school building, a poster contest and local-business discounts for students who present a red ribbon.

Principal Scott Williams and Curriculum Director Paula Metcalf attended the presentation; the students recited the Red Ribbon Week proclamation before leaving the meeting at 6:05 p.m. The board did not vote on a formal proclamation at that meeting; the presentation served as a public briefing and encouragement for school and community participation in the week'long campaign.
