Youngkin, a potential 2024 GOP presidential contender, intends to meet with the president of Taiwan whenoccurred Tuesday, while the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office reported eight of those overdoses happened in just the past three weeks.
"Parents have a right to know what’s going on in their child's lives, especially in schools. Overdoses that occur on school grounds or are connected to the school must lead to an immediate parental notification," the governor said in a statement. "School administrators’ first instinct when there is a problem cannot be to delay relevant information on critical children's health and safety matters - it must be passed on to parents immediately.
Four of the overdoses happened on school grounds at Park View, three required Narcan, and twice staff had to administer CPR. The school district sent a letter Tuesday – alerting parents of what was happening at the school, but many parents FOX 5 spoke to wonder why that took so long. "The reality is, if that school district had gotten nine kids that had gotten tuberculosis, I can guarantee you the parents would have been notified," Virginia's Attorney General Jason Miyares told FOX 5. "And the idea that you’d have nine kids that overdosed on fentanyl, some of which needed Narcan to survive and be brought back, that is simply shocking.
