California Education Code 49423 defines certain requirements for administration of medication “…any pupil who is required to take, during the regular school day, medication prescribed for him/her by a physician, may be assisted by the school nurse of other designated school personnel if the school district receives (1) a written statement from such physician detailing the method, amount, and time schedules by which medication is to be taken, and (2) a written statement from the parent or guardian of the pupil indicating the desire that the school district assist the pupil in the matter set forth in the physician statement.” CUSD Board Policy No. 2401 does not allow students to administer their own medication without written permission as stated above.
Additionally, CUSD Administrative Regulation No. 2401 indicates that school personnel are prohibited from administering any over-the-counter or prescription medications including, aspirins, vitamins, antihistamines, etc. unless the medication is accompanied with written permission from both the parent/guardian and physician. The medication must be clearly labeled and sent to school in a container from the pharmacy and will be kept in the schooloffice unless otherwise directed by the physician.

All medication orderswill be automatically discontinued at the end of the schoolyear after summer school. New orders are required each school year.
