The Anchorage School District is ramping up efforts to educate students, staff and parents about the dangers of fentanyl amid an increase in use of the synthetic opioid by students.
The district has seen a spike in what it calls “fentanyl-related instances” in schools over the last two months. That includes 10 cases in the last month or so at five different high schools.
“It’s just dangerous and can kill,” Bell said. “The Naloxone can reverse that, if we catch it soon enough. And it’s very scary to me.” Kersten Johnson, the Anchorage School District’s Secondary Education Director, said she’s encouraging parents to talk to their kids about drug use.
