in classrooms that depicts a student performing CPR on his friend for 15 minutes after he suffered from a suspected fentanyl poisoning.launched after four students in the Hays school district died from fentanyl poisoning or suspected poisoning. Other videos feature the parents and friends of students who died.

Carrollton-Farmers Branch school officials said they are educating students and families about the dangerous drug. A regularly scheduled student health advisory committee meeting on Thursday now will include a discussion on fentanyl. Districts aren’t required to stock the life-saving drug that can temporarily reverse the side effects of an overdose.

Students have led the effort to expand access to Narcan in some areas. Last year, the Northwest school district provided every campus with the life-saving drug after a junior petitioned the school board. GCISD spokesperson Nicole Lyons said the district also plans for school nurses to conduct annual training sessions to all campus staff on how to use naloxone.
