Board approves new opioid-antagonist policy on first reading
Summary
Board members approved a stand-alone policy 4-42 (opioid antagonists), drawn from a VSBA template and cross-referenced to administering-medications policy 04/28; staff noted the district already includes similar provisions in existing medication policy.
Staff introduced a new stand-alone policy 4-42 addressing opioid antagonists, noting it is drawn from the Virginia School Boards Association model and cross-referenced to policy 04/28 (administering medicines). Kelly told the board the topic is not new to HCPS because similar guidance exists in administering-medications policy; the stand-alone item was presented for clarity.
A board member moved to approve the new policy on first reading and the board voted 'Aye.' Staff said they would consider whether to remove duplicate language from policy 04/28 when finalizing updates. The policy passed on first reading without substantive amendment.
