Medication Policy and Procedure
Parents may request that the school administer medication to their child when it is necessary for the medication to be administered during the school day. The following procedure must be followed:
- A written physician's order listing medical diagnosis must accompany each medication to be dispensed. No medication is administered by health services personnel without specific written instructions from a physician. This includes all over the counter (OTC) medication except as noted below.
- Parent/guardian and prescribing health care provider must sign the authorization sheet for prescription medications given during the school day by staff.
- Parents/guardians of middle and high school students ONLY in compliance with TN Code 49-5-415, must complete the Self-Administration Analgesics Authorization Form if they'd like their child to self medicate with OTC pain-killers like Tylenol, Advil etc. Parent/guardian and student signatures required.
- Medications must be delivered in pharmacy containers clearly labeled with the child's name, name of physician, date of prescription, name and telephone number of the pharmacy, name of medication, dosage and frequency of administration. OTC meds must be in original containers with the students name on them.
- All medications brought to school must be kept in the Dean’s office under the supervision of the School Nurse. An exception would be a medication kept with the student once approved by the school nurse with proper physician's orders, i.e. inhalers or in the middle/high schools for analgesics if requested. ( see above)
- The dean shall keep a medication log which shall include the date of administration, time and initial of the dean or school nurse.
- The medication log shall be kept available for review by the school nurse and school administration at all times.
