| If a student requires oral medication-both prescription and non-prescription- during the school day, parents must return the completed district form to the student’s school with written authorization and directions from a licensed health care provider. Forms are available at the student’s school. School employees are not allowed to give medication to students except under very specific conditions and with appropriate training. Prescription medication must be provided in its prescription bottle with directions and non-prescription medication must be provided in the original manufacturer’s container. The form and medication must be brought to school by a parent/guardian. Under no condition should any type of medicine be sent to school with the student, in lunches or with the bus driver.
Self-administration of medication is allowed in grades 6-12. Forms and guidelines are available at the student’s school. Students found with medication on his/her person without self-administration forms on file in the office will be subject to the District discipline procedures in Policy #3200. Contact your student’s school for additional information.
