Officers working in Akron Public Schools' high schools and middle schools will now carry Narcan.
A third and final vote at the Akron school board meeting Monday night passed the policy.
The policy passed with a 5-1 vote with one board member absent, according to an Akron Schools spokesperson.
A school spokesperson says this is a precaution to allow officers to respond to an overdose situation if a need arises in or near the schools.
