ADMINISTERING MEDICINES TO STUDENTS                Policy Code:             6125

 

 

 


The board recognizes that students may need to take medication during school hours.  The school district will administer drugs or medication prescribed by a doctor upon the written request of the parents.  To minimize disruptions to the school day, medicines should be taken at home rather than at school whenever feasible. The school district is not required to administer any medication that could be taken at home.
