Schools could get federal money to have trained staff give emergency opioid overdose treatment.
This bill would create a new federal grant program to help public and private schools pay for trained staff to give emergency treatment for opioid overdoses. It would also expand existing grants to cover the actual giving of these life-saving drugs. The goal is to make sure schools are ready to respond quickly if a student or staff member experiences an overdose.
Today, there is no specific federal grant program dedicated to funding the administration of opioid overdose drugs by trained personnel in elementary and secondary schools. If this bill becomes law, a new federal grant program would be created specifically for this purpose, and existing grants would be expanded to cover the administration of these drugs.
