OLYMPIA, Wash. — What began as a high school AP Government assignment could soon turn into a new Washington state law.
A group of seniors from Lake Washington High School wants every school in the state to carry Narcan, the opioid overdose reversal medication.
Current state law only requires it at high schools in school districts with more than 2,000 students.
According to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), that law impacts about a third of the school districts in the state.
