The Uintah School District released a statement in response to social media posts
circulating this week. The post on social media claimed that someone recently was
hospitalized due to fentanyl that was obtained at a school within the District. The District
responded on Thursday, stating, “The District is aware of misinformation currently
circulating on social media regarding Fentanyl or other illegal drugs at one of our
schools. Uintah School District has policies that address the possession, use or
distribution of illegal substances on our campuses. Students who violate these policies are
subject to Safe School hearings and potential sanctions.” When asked directly in a follow
up question, the District replied that the claim is False.
