The Moses Lake School District Board convened on October 2, 2025, to discuss critical policy updates, including a new opioid-related overdose reversal policy and a resolution regarding sex education curriculum.

During the meeting, the board reviewed Policy 3424, which addresses the administration of Narcan, a medication used to reverse opioid overdoses. The discussion highlighted the importance of training staff to respond effectively in emergencies, particularly during school activities such as field trips and bus rides. Board members expressed the need for clarity on who would be trained to administer Narcan and whether all adults in the school district should have access to this training. The board agreed to revisit the policy at the next meeting to ensure all questions are addressed, particularly regarding liability and the availability of Narcan.

Additionally, the board introduced Resolution 2026-02, which articulates the district's stance on sex education curriculum in light of recent state law updates. One board member emphasized the importance of parental rights in opting children out of certain educational content, reflecting concerns from community members about state influence over local education. The resolution aims to assert the board's position on maintaining parental control over educational matters.

The board plans to continue discussions on both topics in future meetings, ensuring thorough consideration of community feedback and legal implications.
