The Hays USD 489 school district approved Monday a policy that will make Narcan available in all the district schools.

Narcan is a nasal spray that is used to reverse the effects of opioid overdose.

The medication will not harm an individual who is not experiencing an overdose, but it can save the life of someone who has overdosed, Superindent Ron Wilson said.

All schools will have staff members who are trained in administering the medication.
