This afternoon the LUSD school community experienced a traumatic event on campus. At the end of the school day a medical emergency that included symptoms associated with a chemical overdose or poisoning occurred on campus. School employees responded to the emergency and Emergency Medical Services were summoned. The swift and efficient response provided the necessary medical intervention needed in a timely manner. This incident has been referred to the Lakeport Police Department and is currently being investigated. Tomorrow, and for as long as needed, LUSD will have additional counselors and support providers on campus for students and staff impacted by today’s event.
Unfortunately our community, like many communities across the country, is recognizing an increase in chemical health emergencies. In order to promote a safe school environment, LUSD will be partnering with the Lakeport Police Department to randomly search all campus facilities with narcotics detection dogs.
Please talk with your children and loved ones about the dangers associated with drugs and alcohol.
Sincerely,
Matt Bullard
