If so, have you had any problems with the schools asking about what the medications are for and questioning their use? Thanks, JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thinking back I did have an issue with the school due to the fact that I did not have a standard " WalGreens " label on the bottle. I went to the local pharmacist (mom and pop) and talked him out of a blank label based on the schools stupidity. I then broke out an old manual typewriter and simply typed a new label. Fighting the system helps vent the frustration but sometimes it is easier to just appear to comply and go on with more important tasks at hand. Stupid, arrogant, self center people do not deserve to have the ability to waste your important time. If they don't have the ability to mess with you they just go on to the next person and screw with them. Sad but true, can't change the world - I gave up and focus on getting my son healthy.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Great job looking up the laws, Robyn. A letter with the law quoted by article should do the trick. I can't believe the arrogance of the school districts thinking they can ignore a medical doctor's orders. Another thing that is extremely important with our kids is to put every request in writing. Then there is a record and they can't blow you off because they don't feel comfortable. Always copy someone higher up and even the district level. Let us know what happens JR and Peggy. We think this is a gimme and one the school will not win. Good Luck Marcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Here¹s a link that lists discusses administering medicine on the premises of schools... http://www.enotes.com/everyday-law-encyclopedia/administering-medicine It lists some states and their codes, which might help some of you who are looking for laws in your state. It does say that ³Not all states have addressed the issue at the state level, and persons needing information are best advised to start with their local school districts.², so this may mean that local districts can get away with doing as they please.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 There are federal laws as well that deal with this issue. ________________________________ From: Caroline Glover <sfglover@...> Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 10:13:39 AM Subject: Re: Re: Immunovir and Valtrex at school, Robyn Here¹s a link that lists discusses administering medicine on the premises of schools... http://www.enotes. com/everyday- law-encyclopedia /administering- medicine It lists some states and their codes, which might help some of you who are looking for laws in your state.
