Community leaders are asking parents to talk to their children after two recent incidents in which Boston students were taken to hospitals after taking edibles.
"These tend to come in highly-concentrated, smaller amounts with higher dosage of THC -- maybe taking one or two or are not really knowing how much they should be taking. And so they're taking more," she said.
"Because recognizing those signs is so important to the well-being of our children and for maintaining healthy learning environments, the MTA has been advocating for funding to increase the numbers of counselors and nurses in our schools," MTA President Max Page said in a statement."Awareness is key," agreed Rice."Just having the conversation, understanding that these products are out there.
"It's really hard for me to even imagine what it's like to be a parent with these types of issues coming up," said Lisa Sulda.

Understanding school food systems to support the development and implementation of food based policies and interventions - International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical ActivityBackground Schools provide opportunities to improve the quality of children's diet, whilst reducing inequalities in childhood diet and health. Evidence supports whole school approaches, including consistency in food quality, eating culture and food education. However, such approaches are often poorly implemented due to the highly complex environments in which schools operate. We aimed to develop a school food systems map using a systems thinking approach to help identify the key factors influencing primary school children’s dietary choice. Methods Eight workshops were conducted with 80 children (from schools from varying locations (region of England/UK; urban/rural), deprivation levels and prioritisation of school food policies)) and 11 workshops were held with 82 adult stakeholders across the UK (principals, teachers, caterers, school governors, parents, and local and voluntary sector organisations) to identify factors that influence food choice in children across a school day and their inter-relationships. Initial exploratory workshops started with a ‘blank canvas’ using a group model building approach. Later workshops consolidated findings and supported a wider discussion of factors, relationships and influences within the systems map. Strengths of the relationship between factors/nodes were agreed by stakeholders and individually depicted on the map. We facilitated an additional eight interactive, in-person workshops with children to map their activities across a whole school day to enable the production of a journey map which was shared with stakeholders in workshops to facilitate discussion. Results The final ‘CONNECTS-Food’ systems map included 202 factors that were grouped into 27 nodes. Thematic analysis identified four key themes: leadership and curriculum; child food preference; home environment; and school food environment. Network analysis highlighted key factors that influence child diet across a school day, which were largely in keeping with the thema
