December 3, 2012 - Flour Bluff Independent School District

that. The shelter is aiming for behavior changes so they are meeting with students
once every other week (6 sessions) to re-emphasize what they are learning.
4. Presentation by Maria Davila from Maximus, a company that has a contract with
Public Human Services Commission and works with Texas Health Steps to give
information about the benefits of Medicaid. They would like to educate parents on
medical and dental updates by handing out information at health fairs and other
community events. They help parents in setting up medical and dental
appointments when they are not able to and also provide transportation to their
appointments for those that need it. They do enrollment for the different programs
and services that are provided that parents are eligible for. They offer three
different health plans for children: Driscoll Children’s Health Plan, Superior
Health Plan and Christus Health Plan. They also offer two different dental plans:
Dental Plus and MCNA Dental.
5. Dr. Alicia Needham presents the National Tobacco Youth Survey from the U.S.
Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These surveys are meant to be
distributed to students next year, but have to be approved by this committee first.
The committee would need to review the survey and decide if it is something they
would like to do. Per Dr. Alicia Needham, when reviewing, they should focus on
the specificity of the questions and whether they think students would answer
truthfully. The district usually does not participate in many surveys because it
takes away from instructional time. The district would not be able to see any data
or feedback from these surveys should they be done. No specific parts of the
survey would be able to be taken out- it would have to be given in its entirety. If
someone is not in agreeance with the survey, they are to email Dr. Alicia
Needham at aneedham@flourbluffschools.net.
6. There were three health posters that were approved to be put up at the campuses.
7. Video Review- “When Babies Cry” will be done by Elizabeth Dumas-McMullen.
Next meeting will be on Monday, February 18, 2013 @ 4:00pm.
Meeting concluded at 5:13pm.
