Arizona schools receive 16,000 Narcan kits

Thanks to the STOP-IT Task Force’s efforts and state agency partnerships, Arizona schools will receive over 16,000 Narcan kits.

In a major step to combat the growing fentanyl crisis among school-aged children, Arizona education officials announced that more than 16,000 lifesaving Narcan kits will be distributed to schools across the state.

Multi-agency effort brings life-saving resources to campuses

The initiative, spearheaded by State Superintendent Tom Horne’s School Training Overdose Preparedness and Intelligence Taskforce (STOP-IT), represents an unprecedented collaboration between state agencies. The Arizona Department of Health Services secured the Narcan kits at no cost to the state, while the Arizona National Guard will assist the Department of Education in delivering them to schools statewide.
