ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Anchorage School District officials say five students have overdosed on fentanyl since the first of the year, during school hours, but off school grounds.According to ASD, when the students returned to school they complained of feeling sick and were saved by staff trained to use naloxone.ASD officials say they don’t know what drugs the students thought they were taking, but it could have been anything from cannabis to Adderall or Xanax pills.
During a leadership meeting on Wednesday, ASD gave Naloxone kits to principals, including those at elementary schools. Sandy Snodgrass, the mother of 22-year-old Bruce Snodgrass who died from a fentanyl overdose in 2021, says 16 overdoses were reported in hospitals across Anchorage among people 14 to 18 years old since January.Snodgrass has been advocating for education, awareness, and prevention of the fentanyl crisis. Sen. Lisa Murkowski introduced “Bruce’s Law” on the Senate floor earlier this year.
