Not an official record.*\n*Generated 2026-03-28 15:50 UTC*\n\n---\n\n# Unofficial Meeting Notes\n## Conroe ISD School Safety and Security Committee\n### Summer Meeting — June 22, 2023\n\n> **Note:** These are unofficial notes based on an auto-generated transcript. Some portions of the audio were inaudible or unclear (marked as [Music] in the transcript). These notes may not capture every detail discussed.\n\n---\n\n## Attendance & Opening\n\n- **Chair:** Chris McCord\n- **Committee Members Present (referenced by name):** Ethan Barton, Michael Ferguson, Chief Matthew Blakelock, Matt (last name unclear), Dr. Winkler, Mr. Wilson, Linda Godfrey (committee support/secretary)\n- **Absent:** Barbara Robertson (Director of Nursing) — unable to attend due to significant house damage from a storm the previous night\n- Meeting called to order; McCord thanked attendees for coming out on a warm Thursday afternoon during summer and amid construction\n\n---\n\n## Approval of Minutes — May 22, 2023 Meeting\n\n- Minutes from the May 22, 2023 meeting were presented\n- No questions or comments from the committee\n- **Motion to approve:** Ethan Barton\n- **Second:** Michael Ferguson\n- **Vote: Unanimous approval**\n\n---\n\n## CISD Naloxone (Narcan) Program & Senate Bill 629\n\n### Background\nChris McCord provided an overview of naloxone/Narcan:\n- **Naloxone** is an opioid antagonist that binds to opioid receptors in the brain with greater affinity than opioids, effectively reversing opioid overdose effects (particularly severe respiratory distress)\n- **Narcan** is the brand name of naloxone used by the district\n- Effects are short-lived (a few minutes), serving as a bridge until EMS arrives\n- Administered nasally; works in approximately 15 seconds\n- Very minimal to no side effects if administered incorrectly (i.e., person is not actually experiencing an opioid overdose)\n\n### Current Status (2022–2023 School Year)\n- Narcan has been deployed at **all secondary campuses** (grades 7–12) throughout the 2022–2023 school year\n- Available in school clinics, athletic training rooms (where applicable), and carried by each CISD police officer (two-dose packs)\n- **Narcan has already been used once** on a CISD campus — McCord stated he could not definitively prove it saved the student's life but that \"it made a huge difference\" while waiting for 911 response\n- Credit given to Barbara Robertson (Director of Nursing) and Chief Blakelock for acquisition and deployment\n- Montgomery County has been a significant partner, providing doses at no cost; recently provided 72 additional doses through Homeland Security\n\n### Senate Bill 629\n- **Signed by Governor Abbott on June 18, 2023**\n- Effective September 2023\n- **Requires** school districts to maintain and be able to administer an opioid antagonist for **grades 6 and below**\n- Requires at least one authorized and trained individual per campus\n- Provides for possible funding\n\n### CISD's Expansion Plan\n- CISD was **already ahead of SB 629** requirements, having had Narcan at secondary campuses for a full year before the bill\n- Intermediate campuses were already being supplied before the bill was ratified\n- **The district plans to expand Narcan to ALL campuses, including elementary schools**, going beyond the SB 629 requirement of 6th grade and below\n- **Rationale:** People of all ages are on elementary campuses; children may have access to pills that appear to be ordinary medication but contain fentanyl\n- Chief Blakelock noted that prescription pills confiscated from students this year tested positive for fentanyl at the state lab — incidents were limited but confirmed\n- Full deployment anticipated by **August 2023** for the start of the school year\n- Nurses and athletic trainers have had a positive attitude toward the program\n\n### Key Safety Point\n- Under the law, a nurse or trained individual who **reasonably suspects** an opioid overdose may administer Narcan\n- Each officer carries a two-dose pack; it is possible both doses may need to be administered before EMS arrives\n\n---\n\n## Required Psychological First Aid Training\n\n**Presented by Ethan Barton**\n\n- Texas Education Code §37.108(f)(6)(C)(i) requires members of the District Safety and Security Committee to complete **psychological first aid training**\n- Barton researched available courses and identified a manageable option approved by the Safety Center\n- Barton has already completed the training himself\n- **Training details will be emailed** to all committee members (via Linda Godfrey) with instructions\n- Training is self-paced/on your own time; includes a test and certificate upon completion\n- Completion is on the **honor system**, but members should retain certificates in case the state requests them\n- No firm deadline, but members are asked to complete it **as soon as possible**\n- Barton offered to assist any committee member who has questions\n\n---\n\n## Executive (Closed) Session\n\n- Committee entered closed session at **2:22 PM** pursuant to **Sections 551.076 and 551.089** of the Texas Open Meetings Act\n- Topics discussed in closed session:\n  1. **2022–2023 K-12 School District Audit Cycle Completion** (presented by Mr. Ferguson)\n  2. **Required Texas School Safety Center Reports**\n- Committee returned to open session at **2:37 PM**\n- No action items, votes, or decisions from the closed session were announced\n\n---\n\n## Next Meeting & Upcoming Plans\n\n- The committee is required to meet at least once per semester (fall, spring) and once in summer\n- **No firm date** set for the next meeting\n- Timing depends on results of ongoing **intruder detection audits** — if a finding occurs, the committee has **45 working days** to convene\n- At least **one meeting will occur during the Fall 2023 semester**\n- McCord noted the committee will continue to bring new topics and revisit/expand on current initiatives (e.g., Narcan program)\n\n---\n\n## Adjournment\n\n- **Motion to adjourn:** Chief Matthew Blakelock\n- **Second:** (name unclear from transcript)\n- **Vote: Unanimous**\n- Meeting adjourned\n\n---\n\n*These are unofficial notes based on an auto-generated transcript and may contain errors or omissions.
