The council discussed the Fight the New Drug 'Brain Heart World' three-part documentary, evaluating its efficacy in teaching students about the dangers of pornography. Members expressed appreciation for the professional production and content structure, while noting concerns regarding the intensity of the third video segment involving violence and abuse. The committee ultimately moved to recommend a $300 purchase for a lifetime license to show the first two parts of the series to students at the 8th grade and high school levels, with an additional provision to consider hosting educational sessions with representatives from the organization if funding permits.

The council received an update regarding the review of P.A.P.A. materials and discussed a series of educational videos from the Fight the New Drug campaign concerning the impacts of pornography, with plans to review these materials further for potential recommendation. Additionally, the council voted to amend the bylaws to eliminate term limits for SHAC members, stipulating that individuals may serve consecutive two-year terms upon reappointment. The group also established a timeline for the application process to fill expiring council seats.

The meeting consisted of a lunch discussion with Mr. Kyle Biedermann, State Representative for Texas House District 73.
