The meeting covered procedural basics, including the review and approval of the previous meeting's minutes. Key discussion topics involved reviewing presentations from New Life Refuge regarding Internet Safety and human trafficking in Texas. A guest from the Agriculture Extension Office presented a proposal for a Hand Hygiene lesson partnership utilizing Germ-revealing equipment. Subcommittee focus areas included the Fitness, Physical Activity, and Wellness group, which celebrated raising over $75,000 and noted progress on the BHP Nature Trail, and the Hygiene subcommittee, which approved campus Handwashing posters and discussed strategies for sharing Lice Prevention information, specifically noting the WISD Lice Procedure for review before the next meeting.

The meeting focused on subcommittee activities following the procedural basics. Discussions included reviewing the presentation from New Life Refuge, which led to a suggestion for a social media post regarding the parent presentation. An update on August Heart Screenings indicated that 67 out of 80 signed-up students participated successfully, and the committee inquired about sponsorship costs. Subcommittee work centered on Fitness, Physical Activity, and Wellness, and the Hygiene Committee. The Hygiene Committee adopted two focus areas: handwashing to prevent illness and education/parent resources related to lice prevention. A handwashing comic strip was approved, with a request for campus-specific versions. Detailed needs were identified for lice education materials for parents (prevention, low-income resources, OTC products, louse life cycle) and school staff (prevention methods, classroom material handling). Action items include creating campus-specific comic strips and gathering information for lice education.

The School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) meeting began with a review of SHAC fundamentals and relevant legislative updates, specifically Texas Senate Bills SB 1395 and SB 12 (Parents' Bill of Rights). Discussion covered the role of SHACs in reflecting local community values, required meeting frequency, and the requirement for parent majority membership. Legislative updates emphasized advance notice requirements, minutes/recording posting timelines, and consent requirements for human sexuality instruction and routine health services. Curriculum topics for awareness, including Child Abuse, Family Violence, Dating Violence, Sex Trafficking lessons, and Opioid Addiction lessons (Tucker's Law), were noted. The group reviewed 2024-2025 SHAC subcommittee accomplishments, including work on Fentanyl Education and Heat Related Illness awareness, and adopted a proposed purpose statement for the Wimberley ISD SHAC. Future meeting dates were set, and potential subcommittee topics like Cardiac Evaluation for Students and Hygiene were discussed, with the latter exploring potential partnerships.
