School breaks mean there is less help available in the case of an overdose, and families should stay alert.

Noah Rodriguez was gearing up for his sophomore year in high school when he died from fentanyl poisoning on Aug. 21, 2022.

“It's not just summer; it's also Christmas break and spring break and the week we're off at Thanksgiving," he said."And that's because during the day, if a kid is overdosing and they're at school, we have Narcan on campus. And we have nurses and adults that are trained now in spotting the signs of a potential overdose."A few months before Noah died, he overdosed on cocaine. Rodriguez said she felt like that was a wake-up call.

The district plans to pull back on the campaign, however, so students don't start tuning it out. The issue now is not making kids aware, but getting them help.
