When Loudoun County Public Schools held five fentanyl-awareness sessions in February and March, acting school division spokesman Daniel L. Adams wouldn't say if any students had overdosed on fentanyl. He cited privacy concerns and not receiving "consistent follow-up information" from hospitals and parents.

Why did the Sheriff's office delay a statement, providing a lame excuse appearing to blame the school system? If there was a concern, why didn't the Sheriff's office pick up the phone and call LCPS? This seems to be another case of the political nature of our current law enforcement leadership.
