The Los Angeles Unified School District said they would distribute the opioid overdose treatment naloxone to all its schools.
LOS ANGELES —
“We have an urgent crisis on our hands,” district Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said in a statement. “Research shows that the availability of naloxone along with overdose education is effective at decreasing overdoses and death–and will save lives. We will do everything in our power to ensure that not another student in our community is a victim to the growing opioid epidemic. Keeping students safe and healthy remains our highest priority.
All high schools in the district will get the medication in the next two weeks, and then it'll be distributed to other campuses in the coming weeks, Carvalho said. Carvalho added that the district would also implement an educational campaign that includes parent outreach and peer-to-peer counseling.
