All medications require the authorization form to be filled out. Prescriptions require doctor signature and parent signature. Over the counter medications (if given according to package directions) only require parent signature.
Students may carry inhalers and epi-pens if the doctor and the parent mark the correct box on the authorization form indicating that the student has been trained in self-administration.
The authorization form can be found in the student handbook. I also have copies in my office.
These are county-wide policies which are the same as they were in the elementary school.
