The Weyauwega-Fremont School Board approved a new policy Monday, allowing their school nurses to administer Narcan in case of emergencies.
Narcan is a drug that reverses the effects of opioid overdose.
The policy also allows authorized people like officers and firefighters to use their own supply of Narcan when responding to a suspected drug overdose on the district’s property.
Administrators say the medication will be stored in a safe and secure place on campus.
"If we were having a situation where somebody was having an overdose reaction and we couldn't assist what we could have, that would be troublesome for me. So, I would like to be prepared in the forefront". Scott Blek, Superintendent of Weyauwega-Fremont School District.
An overdose has never occurred on the district’s property.
