[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^I agree with most of your points except giving narcan to every student. Narcan expires. But how about it be put in a lockbox  (near the fire extinguishers or AED machines) where everyone knows where to access it? Make it easy-access?[/quote]

I’m the same teacher PP. You cannot give children access to Narcan to use however they’ll use it. I’m also asking you to again consider that your “solution” is to essentially bring back DARE class (which doesn’t work) , rely on kids to snitch (they don’t), and make them responsible for administering a narcotic blocker to their own classmates. At school. You want kids being taught how to administer Narcan to their peers as part of their responsibility as a student. Please objectively look at how this is not only insane but morally reprehensible. The adults have Narcan and training. The adults do these things. This is NOT what we should just be foisting on teenagers as a matter of routine. [/quote]

I was responding to the 9:06 poster (I am 9:08). I do not agree to giving narcan to every student - it expires. However, I don't see how having easy access to narcan (near fire extinguisher and AED) is a bad idea. Kids don't run around using fire extinguishers and AEDS, do they? But what you do need is for anyone who knows how to use narcan, to have easy access. If a true opioid overdose, narcan is the best antidote. Noone should run around wondering where's the narcan? where's the narcan?

Also, scare the sh$$ out of kids about why this is a national crisis? fentanyl is not like drug addiction from our days in HS. Far more potent and deadly.

Those were was 9:06 said that makes sense. [/quote]

It has a 3 year shelf life so I think the fears of it being expired are overblown.[/quote]
