As fentanyl infiltrates schools and neighborhoods, district leaders are partnering with law enforcement to send a warning to parents at a Tuesday meeting.
Mayra Valdez attended the meeting. She has a teenage son and said she wants to know what to look out for.
Often at community meetings, third-party organizations provide Narcan - a nasal spray known to save lives during a suspected opioid overdose. While some parents hesitate, Valdez said she would, without question, keep the preventive medicine in her home. Special Agent in Charge Eduardo Chavez said parents must face the possibility of drug use and experimentation in their homes.
The family of 16-year-old Rodolfo Rodriguez told us they'd just moved to north Texas from Brownsville, and he planned to enroll in Dallas ISD.
