How often are students overdosing at school in FCPS HS? Is the problem overblown by media?

[Anonymous]

What is it you want from the schools, OP? They’ve communicated this is an issue and have been doing seminars in each pyramid. They’re not going to tell you details anoint individual students.

I was shocked to find that this friend got overdosed. Just wonderful family, both highly educated and involved. Dont know what happened.

Ask yourself why don’t you know our country has been flooded with fentanyl. And then tell yourself “nice” families like yours need to wake-up, because no family is immune to the pandemic of fentanyl poisoning. It’s on every corner, but you need to rip off your sunglasses to see it.

We can thank everyone who voted for open borders. What exactly did you expect? Everything is going according to plan. Why are you complaining now?

Why do they do it in school? Because no one gets disciplined anymore? They know the school can save them just in case?

I want numbers. Staff talk in the abstract when the problem is very real. They don’t need to report by school. But they could report totals by quarter so people may be prompted to take action.

Numbers would expose their massive failure. Why would they do that? They don’t care what you want.

You sound very uneducated. Please attend one of the many presentations on this: https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/alcohol-tobacco-and-other-drug-programs.

How about you google: https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/health/opioid-overdoses-data. This info is broken down by age and identifies fentanyl.

The failure is from the parents, not the schools.

They don't just do it at school. You hear about the cases that happen at school because there are witnesses when someone finds a kid down in a bathroom and yells for help. It's much easier to keep it quiet when it happens at home and the parents find their child unresponsive.

I agree that discipline for bad behavior is a problem across the county but one thing schools will discipline for is substance abuse. A kid who is found with or sells Schedule I or II drugs will get kicked out a lot faster than a kid who threatens to shoot up a school or injures a staff member.

Yes, but it’s broken down by age and most of the under 18 will be in FCPS. That information is plenty to get an idea of the sens of the problem which is what OP wanted.

Which school ever kicked out a kid for illegal drugs?
