Medications

Teachers and other school personnel are prohibited by law from giving prescribed medication to students without the completion of "Form 1702" which must be signed by the child's doctor (exception: short-term antibiotic series). All prescription medication must be in the container dispensed by the pharmacy with the student's name, name of medication, and directions clearly marked on the container. Over-the-counter products should not be sent with students. These steps are necessary to assure parents that precautions are being taken to protect children's health.
