The City of Warrensburg has partnered with the Warrensburg R-6 School District to provide Narcan within the school district. Funding received by the City from a nationwide settlement has provided the opportunity to combat opioid injuries and death. “While the opioid crisis has not overwhelmed the Warrensburg community like it has for so many others, the risk is still present and by placing this medication in schools, we are providing immediate access to a tool that may save lives,” stated Warrensburg Fire Chief Kenneth Jennings. “We are grateful for all of the great community partnerships that we have, and providing this for the school district is a great use of the resources provided to us.” Additional opportunities to implement similar resources throughout the community are in progress.
