Summary
The board unanimously approved proclamations recognizing April 2026 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month and National County Government Month; a CAPSY outreach coordinator described school-based prevention work and local counseling availability.
The Cameron County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved two proclamations during its April 2 meeting. The first proclaims April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month; Miss Leanne from CAPSY described prevention work in preschools and schools, counseling services available locally and distribution of teal ribbons and informational materials across the county. "We start at a very young age...to hopefully prevent sexual assaults...we will have counselors going into the schools if that is needed," she said.
The board also approved a proclamation recognizing April 2026 as National County Government Month, which cites county responsibilities and encourages residents and schools to learn about local government services. Commissioner James read the proclamation text and framed the observance as an opportunity to increase transparency and cooperation among intergovernmental partners.
Both proclamations passed by unanimous voice vote. Commissioners thanked CAPSY staff for their outreach work and encouraged residents to participate in awareness activities during April.
