Gavinn McKinney was a beloved teenager who passed away from fentanyl poisoning just before his 16th birthday. His friends are now advocating for a bill in Colorado that would allow students to carry naloxone without fear of discipline. Many states have policies allowing high school students to carry naloxone, but a statewide law like the one in Colorado is rare. The group “Students Against Overdose” has successfully changed policies in their area to allow students to carry and administer naloxone on school grounds. Their efforts are part of a larger movement to prevent opioid overdoses among young people.
