Fox News
At least two Connecticut school districts will train staff, including nurses and teachers, to use Narcan after a 13-year-old died of a fentanyl overdose last week.
New Britain's school district said in a Jan. 15 Facebook post that "with the help of New Britain EMS, trainings will be coming to New Britain schools so that they will all be equipped with Narcan."
"Training will begin with administrators and eventually expand to teachers and the health curriculum," the school district said.
