ORAL/TOPICAL MEDICATION

Although the Board does not accept, as a School District duty, the responsibility for the administration of oral/topical medicine, it recognizes that some pupils require such medication in order to function satisfactorily in the school setting.  The administering of oral/topical medication is a voluntary action on the part of its teaching staff under carefully controlled circumstances as outlined in attendant regulations.
