[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What have other school districts done to successfully address this issue? Is there a model we should be looking to?[/quote]

Here’s a typical school district response from another school district in suburban LA / Riverside just this week. Not as serious a case but good for reference. The article does not talk about measures the district is taking to reduce such occurrences. Most schools eliminated DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) programs in the 90s. I think most districts and schools are still figuring out how to deal with fentanyl laced drugs and drug abuse in general:

“Several students at Vineyard Junior High School in Rancho Cucamonga needed medical treatment after consuming marijuana gummies on campus last week, authorities said.

Last Thursday, several students complained to school staff members that they were feeling ill after consuming the THC-laced candy.

“The Rancho Cucamonga Fire District responded to the school and provided medical treatment to the students,” the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.

Can you really overdose on marijuana? The simple answer is, yes
Authorities are working with the Alta Loma School District to identify the student who brought the gummies to school.”
