ADMINISTERING MEDICATION TO STUDENTS: Any student who needs to take medication while at school, whether it is prescription or over-the-counter, may be assisted by the school nurse or other designated school personnel if the following procedure is followed: 1) A written statement from the prescribing physician detailing the method, amount, and time schedules by which such medication is to be taken. 2) A written statement from the parent / guardian of the student indicating the desire that the school district assist the student in the dispensing of the medication as prescribed by the physician. It is to be understood that the school is not legally obligated to administer medication to students. Therefore, the school district and its employees are free from any or all suits which might arise out of these arrangements. For your convenience, a "Parent Request for Administration of Medication" form is available in the school nurses office (located in the Attendance Office) which may be used by you and your physician for providing the school with the required information and consent. Board of Education policy permits a responsible, trained student to carry and / or self-administer medication for asthma (wheezing), severe allergic (anaphylactic) reaction, or diabetes on his/her person for immediate use in a life-threatening situation with written order of physician, parent request, school nurse, and principal approvals.
