The Education Law of the State of New York has set up certain requirements for the administration of ANY medication in the school setting. If your child needs to take medication during school hours, it is necessary that both the physician and parent provide written permission. The physician must include the name of the drug, dose, and time to be given. The medication must be in the original, labeled container and brought to the school by an adult.
Children are NOT allowed to transport medication to school due to the danger of loss or accidental overdose by your child or another.
NO medication will be administered unless the correct procedure is followed. These regulations apply to ALL drugs, including non-prescription drugs, such as Tylenol and Motrin.
This also includes COUGH DROPS, ointments, calamine lotion, sunscreen, or other over-the-counter products.
