An Act relative to Narcan availability in schools
SD 1078 requires all public school districts in Massachusetts to establish a naloxone (Narcan) overdose prevention program. Specifically, it mandates that every school nurse must be trained in naloxone assistance and have naloxone available in the nurse's office. The bill also directs schools to offer optional, extracurricular training on administering naloxone nasal spray to secondary students, delivered by qualified individuals following nationally recognized standards. This law directly affects school nurses, administrators, and secondary students in public schools across the state.
