What does the law require to be reported, I wonder. ANY overdose of a student or only if it occurs at school? I would think the latter only, but who knows.

The EO says that they are required to notify parents when there is a "school connected" overdose. It does not define that phrase. Nor does it indicate that it is only talking about unintentional OD or only ODs related to fentanyl. I only say this because it is unclear to me is a student intentionally ODs or ODs on something like tylenol or some OTC whether those are included in the EO. Opioids are not mentioned in the EO although it does talk about an anti fentanyl campaign. https://www.governor.virginia.gov/media/governorvirginiagov/governor-of-virginia/pdf/eo/EO28---Parental-Notification-Law-and-Student-Education.pdf

Substance abuse doesn't discriminate. It can and does happen to anyone the root cause is mental health and they start using to numb the pain. Some don't have the addiction gene but many do.

If you look at the family make up of people who have substance abuse issues, there isn't a majority of people in one group or another. It has nothing to do with parenting, it has nothing to do with where they live. It's not something they caused or you as a parent caused.

It's a disease and needs to be treated a s a disease.

But plenty of neighborhoods did not share in regional progress on poverty, employment, education, and other measures. Despite the efforts of local governments and the boost from COVID-19 relief programs, every jurisdiction in Northern Virginia has multiple neighborhoods where poverty and other indicators got worse between the two five-year periods.

One census tract in Bailey’s Crossroads in Fairfax County, for example, saw the poverty rate nearly double, from 17% to 30%, and child poverty jump from 32% to 63%. Unemployment skyrocketed from 2% to 11%, and the number of people living in overcrowded housing increased from 6% to 16%.

A lot of them are day labor workers, so the can make very little and so many adults in a small apartment.

That is what happens when an administration consciously decides to open the border wide-open, and 7,000 people per day ( SEVEN THOUSAND ), simply walk right into your country unchecked.

How did Hillary put it? “Open trade and open borders.”

This is what happens when people expect affordable products and services.

Republican Governor Glen Youngkin passed a law requiring county school systems to notify parents of every drug overdose.

Prior administrations failed to notify, and just astro-turfed the issue so parents would not know.

THANK YOU, Governor Youngkin, for taking steps to help school children and parents in the Commonwealth.

Exactly, how many folks are doing their yard work, repairing their homes, cleaning their homes, picking up and sorting their groceries/shopping, picking their vegetables and butchering their own meat? Unless you start doing the work yourself ask who is doing the work for you? People travel here because they know the jobs for unskilled trades is HUGE! Is anyone raising their kids and steering them into careers to put up drywall, pick strawberries or clean toilets?

Why are we blaming immigrants for this and not Purdue Pharmaceuticals. Last time I checked folks illegally crossing the border didn't invent fentanyl and market it aggressively ignoring all addiction data and creating an opioid crisis. BUT SURE. Let's blame the immigrants.

Way back when there was a kid at Robinson who overdosed on drugs, but she lived and was fine. The police followed up and arrested all of the drug dealers at the school, a bunch of them did jail time. Sure would be nice to see that happen at Justice.

That isn't what happened. Parents of the school the kids attended were notified. For some reason people think they have a right to know what goes on in every single school in the district they attend. So now we get this vague EO that does nothing. How did this EO improve your life? What are you doing differently due to this EO. Were you not planning to talk to your kids about drugs until this school told you they existed and were deadly? Can you only talk to your kids if the government lets you know something is going on?

Are you planning on helping the families who have lost kids or who have kids struggling with addiction. PLEASE tell me how this improved your parenting or helped the children struggling with addiction.

Loudoun overdoses triggered November order after “nine students at one Loudoun County High School have overdosed this school year, and six students at other schools in the county have overdosed on their schools' campuses.”

Unfortunately, we face the same issue up here in Montgomery County.

Are you saying immigration issues are related to the overdose?
