Supervisor proposes Naloxone distribution to every family in Hanover County schools
Summary
During the CSB work session, Supervisor Sue Dibble suggested providing Naloxone to every family in the schools and staff noted an Opioid Task Force meeting and planned meetings with school-based clinicians to coordinate services.
As the board discussed school-based clinician funding and service continuity, Supervisor Sue Dibble proposed an additional public-safety step: making Naloxone available to every family in the county's schools. The suggestion came during a broader discussion of how to maintain supports after the School Board's funding reduction.
CSB staff also reported an upcoming Opioid Task Force meeting and said they will meet with school-based clinicians as part of program planning. Bret Schardein described plans to work with clinicians and task-force partners while the CSB configures services around the available floating positions and grant-funded role.
The board did not adopt any formal Naloxone distribution policy during the session; the comment was a proposal for future consideration and interagency coordination.
