“Sadly, overdoses are a reality on school campuses throughout Arizona. Schools must prepare for potential drug overdoses and poisonings by educating faculty, parents, and students on prevention and response. This is a tragedy beyond words, it shows no sign of abating and schools are a vital resource to educate children on these dangers.” The Sold Out Youth Foundation has excellent resources to address this ongoing crisis.”
