Bandages, ice packs, aspirin and epinephrine have long been staples of nurse Dawn Baker's public high school medical clinic in Texas.
Last year, just two weeks after Hays County gave Nurse Baker six doses of Naloxone, also known by the brand name Narcan, she was called to a classroom where a 16-year-old girl was unresponsive. "We know that there is plenty of fentanyl on the market that is tainting products that people really otherwise wouldn't know is there. Even in a very small quantity – one tenth of a grain of rice – can lead to an overdose death," Brownstein said.
"The fear is that drug users will camp out on the doorstep so that when they use opioids, school personnel will have to run out and save them with naloxone. There's a fear of danger after administration – that if you administer it, people are going to come up swinging and that you, yourself, are going to be in danger," King said."There's also fear that schools don't want to get the bad reputation.
"Our goal was transparency and really making sure that we were communicating that this is out here, and we wanted them to see those faces," Skrocki said.
