As overdose deaths continue to rise, many schools in the U.S. are stocking up on Nascan to stop student overdoses.
BOULDER, Colo. — It's a question that's started a debate in communities across the country: should schools keep overdose-reversing spray Narcan in classrooms or on campus?After multiple students overdosed in the Boulder Valley School District in Boulder, Colorado, the community and the district worked together to get Narcan stocked in schools to help save the next student who overdoses from dying.
“Having this medication and knowing we had it in the bag was actually really reassuring. We didn't hesitate. I gave it, and I was glad I had it on hand.” In 2022, students have overdosed and died in schools in Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada and New Jersey. “We need to face that head-on, with our eyes open and realize, 'OK, people are using drugs and they're dying. Let's start with harm reduction. How can we keep them from dying?'"
