Approval Of Proposed Revisions To Board Policy FFAC(LOCAL), Wellness And Health Services: Medical Treatment-First Reading
body
This board item seeks approval of updates to Board Policy FFAC(LOCAL), Wellness And Health Services: Medical Treatment.
The proposed changes are to align with Senate Bill 920, which expanded the rules for administering non-prescription, over-the-counter medications in Texas schools. With the passing of Senate Bill 920, school nurses and campus employees may administer such medications without a doctor’s order as long as the parent or guardian provides written consent, the medication is unexpired and in its original labeled container, and the dosage requested by the parent or guardian matches the label instructions.
A copy of FFAC(LOCAL) showing the proposed changes is attached.
