Any prescription medication must be accompanied by a current written doctor’s order. The medication must be in a prescription bottle where the label matches the doctor’s written order and states the child’s name, dosage, route, and expiration date. All prescription medication is stored in the nurse’s office and may only be given by the nurse as ordered. No employees other than the school nurses may administer any form of medication to a student. It is against NYS Department of Health regulations to do so.
