Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin has issued an executive order requiring school systems to notify parents of school-related overdoses after authorities said there had been seven fentanyl-related overdoses connected to one high school within three weeks.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin has issued an executive order requiring school systems to notify parents of school-related overdoses after the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said there have been seven fentanyl-related overdoses connected to one high school in the last three weeks.
Chapman said his deputies had been in touch with school officials, and had been under the impression that the school system was going to notify parents of what was happening. On Tuesday Park View’s principal sent out a note that generically detailed the dangers of fentanyl and stating, “We are seeing students ingesting drugs prior to school and suffering the effects while in school.
Spence, in a phone interview, said the school system shied away from using specific numbers for privacy issues and because it lacked some of the data to know precisely how many overdoses occurred. As an example, he said the school will sometimes call an ambulance for a child to receive medical attention, and while there may a suspicion of an overdose, it could be another medical condition.
