New billboard shows 3 Hays CISD students who died from fentanyl overdoses
This has been an ongoing issue for the school district. Now, a group of parents hope this billboard will make a positive change Hays CISD Superintendent Dr. Eric Wright released a statement on the incident. He said in part, there were three cases of "suspected accidental fentanyl poisonings" involving students as young as the seventh grade over Christmas break.
"Additionally, we had another student who passed away during the break. Though no autopsy results are back yet, law enforcement investigators are now considering the possibility that an accidental fentanyl poisoning may be to blame. If so, that would be the fourth fentanyl poisoning during our Christmas break, and the fifth student our district has lost to fentanyl this school year," Dr. Wright said in the statement.
Dr. Wright also mentioned the Fighting Fentanyl campaign that was created following the deaths of four Hays CISD students due to fentanyl overdoses.
