Naloxone kits will now be distributed to all junior and senior high schools in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The kits, which can be life-saving in the event of an overdose, will be available in first aid kits.
NL Schools officials say they’ve spent the past few months training staff to use both the injectable and nasal spray kits.
In a memo distributed this week, they also encourage parents and guardians to speak with their children about drug use.
