U.S. Schools Will Now Carry Overdose Medication

Los Angeles public schools will stock campuses with the overdose reversal drug naloxone in the aftermath of a student’s death.

The nation's second-largest school district will now start carrying a medication to reverse opioid overdoses.

It's a terrifying sign of the times after seven teens overdosed, one of them dying on campus. 

"Our system has been deeply impacted by the injury to some students and the death of at least one student as a result of an unacceptable level of availability of narcotics and opioids in our community," said Alberto Carvalho, the superintendent of Los Angeles Unified School District.
