4:10 Denise and Andrew Lifeskills planning and scheduling for 2022
• Samuel Swenson is implementing Lifeskills in the 7th and 8th
grade right now as a part of Project SUCCESS.
• Mark mentioned that Benji Project Mindfulness Class is also
being implemented in the science class, so the demand for
that class is heightened.
• Ciela proposed that the Coalition can count the 8th grade
implementation that Samuel is doing as a Coalition funded
Lifeskills, and the 7th grade implementation can be counted
as a Project SUCCESS implementation.
• Decided that Samuel’s current implementation of Lifeskills in
the 8th grade will count as a Coalition implementation and
count towards the Lifeskills category on the Action Plan. And
then we will pay to train Andrew in Lifeskills which will also
count as fulfilling the Action Plan Lifeskills category. That
way in the next funding cycle if we decide to continue
Lifeskills, Andrew is prepared to implement.
• Discussed doing a Lifeskills implementation among the older
adult population, between the ages of 18-24, will continue
exploring this possibility at next month’s meeting.

Members
Other Community Updates
Social/Emotional Health curriculum for all school districts
• January joint school board meeting was focused on
transportation for students, and syncing the academic
calendar.
• Denise will connect with Superintendent Mauk to follow up
on Social/Emotional Health curriculum.
Dove House update
• Healthy Relationships class is in progress, sexual violence
prevention education curriculum in schools isn’t scheduled
yet due to COVID restrictions.
Navigator position with JC Sheriff
• Discussed how to contact the Navigator. Currently people
need to call dispatch (911) to get the Navigator dispatched.
Sheriff’s office is working on getting a more direct line to the
Navigator.
Teen Center
• Discussed Positive Action trainings for Teen Center staff,
likely September 2022. This will be defined more after
planning period for 2022-2023 funding cycle.
