Concerns over the potential misuse of prescription medication at Westgate Elementary School in Arlington Heights have sparked an investigation.

On Monday night, concerns were brought to the attention of an administrator of Arlington Heights School District 25 regarding a licensed registered nurse at Westgate Elementary allegedly mishandling prescription medication designated for specific student use. In response, the school district promptly reported the incident to both the Arlington Heights Police Department and the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.

Their concerns stemmed from evidence suggesting that their child may have suffered health issues due to receiving the wrong medication. Medical analysis allegedly revealed signs of excessive aspirin intake and traces of fentanyl in the child’s blood work.
