Toronto District School Board high schools will soon be provided with a drug that can reverse opioid overdoses. On Wednesday evening the board voted to move forward with equipping every secondary school with a naloxone kit, as part of TDSB’s overdose-prevention plan implemented in November 2017. TDSB spokesperson Ryan Bird said one kit will be provided to each of the board’s 112 high schools and alternative schools. Two to three staff from each school will also be trained on how to use the kit. The city’s report, released in March 2017, encouraged school boards to consider having naloxone kits.
