Jefferson County Public Health http://www.jeffersoncountypublichealth.org/index.php?c-p-c Denise Banker, Coalition Staff Kelly Matlock, Coalition Staff 360-385-9438 360-379-4476 dbanker@co.jefferson.wa.us kmatlock@co.jefferson.wa.us Ron expressed the desire to get this issue to the legal department of the county asap (it may already be in process because other County agencies are also interested in using social media). The Question is: Would a community coalition governed by volunteers be subject to a public records request? Update on Hiring Process for the new CPWI Coordinator Ron, Kelly and Vicki Kirkpatrick, the Director of the Health Department, have interviewed 5 candidates for the CPC Coordinator position. All were quite capable. Decision will be forthcoming Update on Environmental Committee work In looking the legal complexity at all of the policies that deal with alcohol, marijuana and other drugs for Chimacum School District, Kelly asked for templates for these policies from the Washington State School Directors’ Association. It is this Associations templates that are the foundation of the District’s policies. The current templates have been updated since marijuana has been legalized. Kelly is suggesting that the Environmental Committee focus on the policies that deal with prevention only. She will be contacting the committee later this month to suggestions. Update on Parenting Wisely This is a direct service evidence-based online parenting program that the Coalition sponsors year round. Currently Julia Danskin is still monitoring the program. When the new Coordinator is hired, she will be in charge of monitoring the program. We still have a number of slots open, so Coalition members are encouraged to think of parents who might be interested in doing this online training. Update on Strengthening Families Program Strengthening Families is a direct service evidence-based parent-child bonding program that the Coalition sponsors twice a year. It is done in partnership with Jeff. Co. 4-H. The Coalition pays for the training, curriculum, rent and the site manager. The facilitators are trained 4-H volunteers. Insurance is provided by 4-H. The next session has tentatively been planned for October and November 2016. Again, Coalition members are encouraged to think of parents who might be interested in doing this training next fall. Dinner and childcare for younger children is provided. CHIMACUM PREVENTION COALITION Mission : Uniting kids, families and agencies in support of healthy youth in Chimacum.
