New Policy for Over the Counter Medication

The Texas Board of Nursing has updated its medication policies, including changes to how over the counter medicine is administered. The new policy requires that all medications distributed in a school setting be administered by the school nurse and have a note from the student's doctor. The policy includes over the counter medications.

If there is over the counter medication kept in the Nurse's Clinic for your child, you must provide a Physician Order upon return after winter break. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child's school nurse.
