District nurse says vaping diversion training is showing results; in-person peer training most effective
Summary
KCSD lead nurse Laura Limb told the board that vaping diversion program data suggest in-person and peer-group training produce more positive results than individual online training, and she offered to notify the board if the health department requests a letter supporting flavor restrictions.
KCSD lead nurse Laura Limb briefed the board on the district's vaping prevention and diversion program during the Oct. 17 meeting.
Limb reviewed program statistics and said the diversion training "does appear" to be having a positive impact. She told the board that "In-person training and peer group training have more of an impact than individual online training," and showed visual displays of the various vape devices students are using. Board member Jill O'Donnell asked what the board could do to support legislation removing flavors from devices; Limb said the health department may request a letter of support and she would notify the board if that occurs.
The board did not take action on the topic at the meeting; Limb's recommendations and any request from the health department would be brought back to the board if formal support were requested.
