Discussed implementing this Trauma Informed Care program for all campuses in AISD grades Early Learning to Grade 12. Handle With Care is a coordinated mental health care program. If implemented, AISD would request collaboration with Angleton Police Department, local EMS, Brazoria County Sheriff's Office and the Brazoria County District Attorney’s Office to provide a quick method of communication for those students involved in a traumatic incident outside of school so that our staff could be aware of the potential needs of our students. There would be no sharing of details of the incident, only the name, date and school attended and the words “Handle With Care”. This information would be shared with only those with a need to know. All staff would receive training. Counseling would be given if needed. This does not replace the reporting to CPS for incidents presently reportable by law. This program was recommended by the council to be presented to the Counselors and Social Workers of AISD and, if adopted, a committee of organizations/AISD representatives would be formed to develop the communication details and district protocols. A motion from Francis Martinez Second Coach Brittany Staggs voted unanimously in favor of recommending the program for AISD.

The next meeting date will be rescheduled due to district testing.
