A Third of Colorado School Districts Receive Naloxone From the State

About 65 school districts were enrolled at the start of the school year to receive naloxone from the state’s Naloxone Bulk Purchase Fund. About 16 had shown interest in enrolling. The remaining 97 districts either did not stock naloxone at their schools or received it from another source.

Note: Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind, Colorado Springs Christian Schools, The Academy of Charter Schools, and Education reEnvisioned BOCES are not shown on the map but are also enrolled.
