Allowance for Stock of Narcan
 

While the new standards allow for the use of stock epinephrine, they miss an opportunity to allow for the use of Narcan (Naloxone) which is a lifesaving medication. Unfortunately, opiates are prevelent in many areas, and allowing this medication to be stocked in schools could be lifesaving in the unfortunate case of a child getting a controlled substances that's overdose could be reversed.
