Medication

New York State law requires that the following procedures be followed when medication must be administered to a student during the school day:

A parent must submit a written request to school authority together with:

• A written request from the student's physician indicating the frequency and dosage of the prescribed medication, and

• The medication must be brought to school by a responsible adult in the original container, labeled with the name of the recipient, the name of the medication and the prescribed dose.
