[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the purpose of these email notifications other than to fan the flames of gossip and speculation? Why did the governor want this type of communication going out across the county? There are other ways to remind kids that drugs are bad. I feel awful for the kids who overdosed and are subjects of these emails as well as their parents. They deserve privacy while navigating this problem.[/quote]

Because MAGA's love gossip and hate.[/quote]

You are so fueled by hate towards "MAGA" that you refuse to see the value in this transparency:

A reminder to us all that this stuff is making its way into our kids schools.  It's real.

Talk to your kids.[/quote]

It's MAGA-adjacent because the governor's edict only applies to public schools. While maybe the notification to parents has value - I don't think it does, but I'm not oblivious/a NIMBY/a foreign national - the decision to require it doesn't come from a place of community education, but rather to [further] erode public trust in public schools.
Guarantee your MS and HS children know about drug use at their schools. I was the goody-two-shoes-est of middle schoolers and I still knew what crowd was drinking, having sex, etc. [/quote]It is quite puzzling as to the "requirement" for only public schools to post AND, as I recall, the posting occurs regardless of where the overdose occurs. So posting is required even if the overdose occurs off school grounds. There was an earlier postings of a Justice student and I believe W-L student and those overdoses(separate) occurred in their homes. I do think the required posts serve as a wake up call to severity of the issue. It is just ridiculous that it only pertains to public school children. We all know the issue is everywhere and private children also partake in drug abuse.
