Typical. Waste time FOIA’ing documents about how the school handled another child’s issue rather than simply expending that energy on ensuring your child is informed enough to make a better decision or talking with your kid about how fentanyl has upped the risks of taking any pill. Then blame the system for whatever happens to your kid while you were busy being nosy and antagonizing the school district for FOIA documents.
Did you see the story about the police officer who OD’d accidentally (and lived thankfully) because she accidentally touched a tiny speck of fentanyl with HER HAND during a traffic stop?
How are kids supposed to prevent accidentally touching fentanyl?
Lmao that was a complete hoax
Officers have OD'd just being near it on video too.
Please educate yourself. This is dangerous misinformation.
Please explain how it's "dangerous." Are you a teen fentanyl proponent?
No, I think the previous poster meant this is dangerous misinformation, because it causes fear of providing first aid to someone (a teen) who is dying and needs CPR/Narcan. Because you *cannot* OD from being “near” it. This is medically wrong. Ask any physician. This is something that was circulated in law enforcement circles - but it’s not true unless extraordinary amounts were aerosolized and you were breathing them in for a very long time.

Let’s say this. If there’s an ambulance at your school due to illicit or criminal activity - and this includes assaults, illegal “medications”/drugs, shooters/guns - parents should absolutely be notified about what happened with reasonable details.
Otoh. If an ambulance is there, because of a child’s diabetes, etc. please don’t send any emails at all.

Fentanyl is everywhere now. If school said it was not present, I would not believe them.
Overdoses have been happening in Arlington Public schools. And, sadly, one kid died at school in the middle of the day. Reports were the school was well aware of kids high on something and use of substances in the bathroom---parents raised concerns prior but were ignored.

Of course not. Unfortunately, I have had to administer narcan and handle a person and items that had fentanyl on them while dealing with an opioid-addicted relative and I'm still here. You can't overdose on fentanyl by touching a speck of it or being near to it. People regularly use and are addicted to straight fentanyl (as is my relative). PP above already said pretty much the same thing, but the more unwarranted hysteria there is about accidental exposure to fentanyl via the scary drug addict, the less we are focusing on things like harm reduction, education and prevention, making narcan available, etc. More people will die, and opioid addiction isn't very discriminatory.

and for what it's worth, kids did drugs in my school. But nobody OD'd. Because nobody was doing opiates/fentanyl back then. These are dangerous times to be a kid

I'd definitely want to know if kids were OD'ing at my kids school. This isn't an office building full of nameless wall huggers. Kids interact with each other. I'd want to know the drug situation.

There was an OD recently in our city high school. If there are new rules or meetings here they haven't been communicated. Nothing has been communicated.

But there's no additional information. It's kind of a faux transparency -- although I understand that student (and staff) privacy is paramound.
However, DD says there is a rumor going around the school that one of these incidents a couple of weeks ago involved an OD. In my mind, this seems like more of a salient detail the community should know, given the Fentanyl epidemic. I'm thinking about the horrible case at Wakfefield HS recently.
Short of just asking (I'm sure they'll evade the question), is there some way to find out? FOIA? Public records? This to me feels more like a "need to know" situation than, say, a kid who has a seizure or a staff member who has a heart attack.
Along those lines, I wonder if LCPS keeps records on OD's in schools?
