A school in Hartford, Connecticut remains closed on Tuesday after fentanyl contamination and a student’s death. On Monday school officials at the Sport and Medical Sciences Academy said testing did not meet the standard and the decontamination process on campus must be repeated.

This decision came after a 13-year-old student died in the hospital on Saturday of a fentanyl overdose after coming in contact with the drug during school last week. Mayor Luke Bronin said police officers will continue to investigate how students got a hold of such a large quantity of the drug.

At least 40 bags of fentanyl, which is 50 times stronger than heroin, were found across the school campus. Police officers believe another student gave the seventh grader the drug. This comes as health officials become increasingly concerned that teenagers are being targeted as criminals often disguise fentanyl pills as other drugs.

While speaking during an interview, the Vice President of Hartford Healthcare Addiction Services, Dr. J. Craig Allen, weighed in on the matter.

“These drugs that capture and hijack that system, this experimentation which 20, 30 years ago was ‘oh smoked a cigarette’ or ‘he drank a beer, let’s talk to him about it’ — it can kill you now,” explained the physician. “The rules have changed and that’s a tragedy.”

Meanwhile, Hartford Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Leslie Torres-Rodriguez said counseling is being offered for students and staff. (Click Here)

The Hartford Public school will remain closed until no fentanyl detected inside the building. This comes at a time when authorities are seizing record numbers of fentanyl with numbers doubling at the border from 2020 to 2021.

Have you received Salvation from Jesus the Messiah? Time is running out. Jesus will return very soon. The signs of His return are everywhere in this crazy world we are living in. Please read below so that you can be saved. Jesus is the only way to Heaven. The Words below are directly from the Bible, so you can trust them.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6)

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. (John 3:16-17)

If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all )is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:9-13)

“As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. IF YOU KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. (John 15:9)

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)

For those of us who persevere and do what Jesus says to do, we have this to look forward to in eternity: And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

The Bible – New King James Version, NKJV
