[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not wanting to debate whether or not they should.  If a high schooler is age &gt; 14, trained in administration, would having a naloxone kit in their backpack be against MCPS policy?  I'm aware that the schools have it on hand.

Excellent hypothetical troll![/quote]

Ha!  OP here.  I really do have a high schooler who wants to carry naloxone in their backpack.  We’re a family of rule followers though…so I wanted to make sure it wasn’t against any rule…[/quote]

Why does a 14-year-old need to carry it in their backpack?

The schools are supposed to be stocked with it. It seems like an unnecessary burden to put on a 14-year-old to expect them, rather than the nurse, to save a classmate.

My high school freshman often goes straight from school to other places.  He wouldn't be carrying narcan on the assumption that it would be needed in school, but someplace after school.  (Not OP)[/quote]
