Therapists cannot stop drug overdoses either.


Drug test strips can prevent drug overdoses. Narcan can counter drug overdoses.

Wait.

1) You're expecting teenagers who are buying illegal drugs to be responsible enough to want to test said drugs before using them?

2) You want the school to keep said test strips on hand so students can confirm their drugs don't have fentanyl and then be allowed to use these illegal drugs on school property?

This is a good idea to you?


I prefer to mitigate the harm, yes. Testing for fentanyl seems better than overdosing from fentanyl.


Yeah, I don't think giving kids a pass to use illegal drugs (as long as it's fentanyl-free!!!!) on school property is gonna fly with most parents. And I'm stunned that you don't see why that would be a no-go for the school district either.


Well, then, there will be more overdoses, which could have been prevented.

No, testing shows kids are positive. Then the question is if they are positive, what are the parents going to do about it? This has nothing to do with therapists. Therapists don't do drug testing.


Test strips test the drugs for fentanyl, not the kids. The test strips are for drug testing of the drugs.

There is a full time social worker in my child's MCPS high school. Is this common?


I don’t think it’s common.

Also I don’t know why kids have to leave school to get counseling or do it after school. It’s hard for parents who are getting their kids therapy to get appointments. We could increase counselors if parents could pay them with their health insurance.

1-2 social workers for 1-3K students aren't going to make a dent and they just handle the crisis. At best they can reach out to parents and encourage them to get the kids to help but ultimately it's up to the parents to get the kids to help.

There are tons of literature and data about Montgomery County SROs that say otherwise. And why would it be a bad thing to provide principals with resources who can actually help them? Why would you take that away? Aren't we supposed to support Principals so that they can effectively run their schools and provide a safe environment for students and staff?


There are studies about the effectiveness of SROs in Montgomery County? I haven't seen any, could you link to them please?

We also do not need the armed forces because one guy went AWOL. The Parkland argument is just as ridiculous.
