Tuesday - Nov. 18th - Fentanyl Abuse Prevention and Drug Poisoning Awareness Presentation

Tomorrow, Nov. 18th, students will attend a Fentanyl Abuse Prevention and Drug Poisoning Awareness presentation presented by Mrs. Hawk, our CHS nurse, and Officer Deville, our CHS Police Officer in the auditorium. This presentation is to educate students about the dangers posed by the drug fentanyl and the risks of fentanyl poisoning, including overdose.

It is a requirement from TEA that “Each school district shall annually provide research-based instruction related to fentanyl abuse prevention and drug poisoning awareness to students in grades 6 through 12. (Sec.38.040) The instruction required by this section must include: suicide prevention, prevention of the abuse of and addiction to fentanyl, and awareness of local school and community resources, any processes involved in accessing those resources, and health education that includes information about substance use and abuse, including youth substance use and abuse".
