Fentanyl Awareness (AB889)

Fentanyl Awareness (AB889)

Red stop sign displaying the phrase Stop Fentanyl with a blue sky background.Mountain View School District takes the safety and well-being of students very seriously and feels that we could not ignore the frightening epidemic of tragic overdoses in our nation. 

Assembly Bill 889 requires public schools to annually share information about this very subject.  Our goal in communicating with you on this topic is to create awareness and provide you with tools to discuss the dangers of fentanyl with your children in a way that makes sense to you and your family.  We hope that by bringing awareness, we can avoid future tragedies together. 

The resources found below may be helpful for you and your family. If you have any questions or need assistance discussing this information with your child, we are here to help.
