Clinton Schools Exploring Opioid Overdose Administration By School Personnel

Among a few proposed changes to the Clinton School District policy would be a select few district personnel being able to administer opioid overdose drugs.

 

According to Clinton Schools Superintendent Curt Nettles, the plan would be to allow only the school nurse and school resource officer to have the drug and to administer it.

 

 

Nettles indicates the district has another month to get their house in order to have the drug on hand. He says they have to "tread carefully".

>>The Board of Education recognized eight new school teachers to the different building this year.

 

>>An increase in substitute teacher pay was approved to bring the district in line with neighboring communities.
