Seriously? And you think that school ratings and drug usage are linked? They are not.[/quote]

BCC girls found passed out in the bathroom.

BCC is rated higher. This has nothing to do with low income and ratings [/quote]

BCC is not a W school[/quote]

Can we just agree that drug use is not an issue unique to schools with either high or low FARMS rates and instead focus on what appears to be a pretty shocking uptick in kids dying from drug use at school?

I suspect there is a multi-pronged response needed, including but not limited to hard reduction measures such as educating kids about fentanyl and allowing students to carry Narcan. What else? [/quote]

Staff should administer Narcan not minors.[/quote]

I don't know, I'm on Team The First Available Person Who Can Administer Narcan Should Do So. Speaking of which: https://mocoshow.com/blog/family-forum-on-fentanyl-life-saving-narcan-training-at-clarksburg-high-school/[/quote]

100%. My husband and I went to the Montgomery County health department's Zoom Narcan training last night, and I recommend it to everyone here. It was free and they will mail Narcan to your house for free once you complete it.

There were quite a few parent/child pairs on the Zoom. One of the kids shared that a friend of his had died of a fentanyl overdose administered via vape.

Find and sign up for a training here:
