All Anchorage School District campuses — from elementary through high school — will have multiple drug overdose kits to help curb the opioid problem infesting the state of Alaska, according to officials.
The kits will contain the drug naloxone going into this school year, according to district Health Care Services Director Kathy Bell, a drug designed to treat opioid overdoses.
Bell said quick action on the part of the district and the state — which included emergency staff meetings and student assemblies to talk about the dangers of fentanyl — made a difference, at least last spring when reports of overdoses slowed down.
