Henrico School Board likely to join settlement against Kroger for opioid-related claims
This Thursday, Henrico School Board members will vote on a proposal to join a $1.4 billion settlement with Kroger over the grocery chain’s alleged involvement in the U.S. opioid epidemic.
The school board’s government counterpart already signed onto the settlement agreements with Kroger this past March, along with almost 5,000 localities across the nation. Henrico County’s “outside opioid litigation counsel” recommended that both the county and the school board participate in the settlements in order to receive a share of the funds, which would be used for local opioid abatement efforts, according to the school board’s proposal.
