More Arizona schools could soon stock overdose reversal medications to combat the growing fentanyl crisis, the Arizona Department of Education announced Tuesday.
A task force of educators, health care professionals and law enforcement officers will meet in the coming months to determine how to implement a new initiative to supply schools with naloxone, said Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne.
“The worst thing in the world would be to do nothing,” Horne said. “We have to do everything we can because kids are dying.”
