Port Orford-Langlois board proclaims September Suicide Prevention Month after public request
Summary
Following a public comment asking for suicide-prevention materials, the Port Orford-Langlois School Board unanimously approved a proclamation designating September as Suicide Prevention Month and discussed local crisis resources and outreach.
The Port Orford-Langlois School Board unanimously approved a proclamation designating September as Suicide Prevention Month after a public commenter asked the district to display local suicide-prevention brochures.
Gordon Clay presented county suicide data during public input and asked that brochures be made available in the high school office. Chair Judy Miles read the district's public-input policy and then read the proclamation; the board then voted. "Speakers in Public Input are allowed 3 minutes to speak," Judy Miles read aloud as she introduced the public comment period. Bob Brown moved to approve the proclamation and Angel Ashdown seconded; all members voted in favor.
The discussion connected public comment about the SOS crisis text line and the 'Are You OK' campaign to the formal proclamation the board adopted. The board did not record additional directives to staff in the minutes beyond approval of the proclamation; any follow-up distribution of brochures was not specified in the meeting materials.
