[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read the letter as being a student who attended Justice HS. This post reads as though it occurred AT Justice HS. Very sad incident none the less but the Title of this post is incorrect.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.  [/quote]
