Members propose using pooled funds to bring prevention speaker Chris Herron to schools
Summary
SUDAK members suggested allocating pooled opioid funds to bring speaker Chris Herron—whose presentations target middle- and high-school students—to local schools to reach students at critical ages.
Committee members raised the idea of using pooled opioid funds to bring speaker Chris Herron to local schools. John Chariel described Herron as an engaging presenter for high-school audiences and suggested the program has been effective in other districts.
"He goes right into the high schools," Chariel said, noting Herron pairs an in-person talk with a short video and uses a presentation style that reaches students at lunchtime when attendance is high. Members discussed whether opioid remediation funds could cover the cost and suggested coordinating with school committees and superintendents to secure permission and timing.
