Policies - Medication Policies

You must strictly adhere to these policies adopted by the HISD School Board.
These guidelines apply to ALL medications - both prescription and over-the-counter.

School Board Policy prevents nurses and teachers from administering aspirin or medications of any kind at school WITHOUT PROPER CONSENT! A student may not carry medication with him/her except for students with asthma. House Bill 1688, passed by the 77^th Legislature and signed into law, allows a student with asthma to possess and self-administer prescription asthma medicine - inhalers. (See that a back-up prescription is kept in the Clinic for emergencies).

Medications are required to be kept locked in the Clinic. A written medication permission form with the original signatures of both a parent and the prescribing physician must accompany all medication including self-administration prescriptions for Asthma. Each medication must be in its original container with an affixed prescription label listing the patient's name for whom the drug was prescribed, the drug name, and the proper dosage and administration route information.

Medication and Treatment Forms are to be returned to the BHS Clinic. If faxed, please see that the originals are brought or mailed to the Clinic.

Refer your questions to the BHS Nurses, Daryl A. Lott, RN or Ramona Wiltz, RN.
