can a school refuse meds

[dallas702]

I also hope OP can do whatever he/she needs to, and the school can do whatever they can.

As to fighting for freedoms: Yeah, me, my brother, every generation of my family back to before the Revolutionary war, my wife and her family, and most of my childhood friends all served our country. My wife and I for over 30 years combined. So don't preach to me about fighting for our rights. Abortion is, no matter what you like to call it, the killing of an unborn child. I don't eliminate all reasons for abortion, but convenience is not acceptable in my book. Having some outsider provide that for anyone's child without their knowledge or consent is criminal in my book.

The questions I pose for the schools is one not just of legality, but also practicality and proper use of resources. There is a price for everything.

Philosophical ideology aside, it's obvious the best case scenario may be different from what is practiced. Hopefully, we will begin to see what some of our selfish decisions have brought upon our children and we'll do better in the future. from what I observe on TV, I have large doubts.

Just a comment,With proper med administration training other people other than a nurse can correctly pass meds. Group home staff where I work do it all the time. One of my job dutys includes being a certified med passer. This also Includes controlled substances. In Nursing homes they are called TMAs in this region. I work for a group home firm that houses DD people.

marbol;

Maybe you can volunteer to be "school nurse" so you can give a few hundred kids their medications throughout the day..."as prescribed"...

Or, maybe the schools can quit being one-size-fits-all, zero tolerance paranoid moral police long enough to trust the kids with legitimate prescriptions to take their own medicine when it is required.

I agree with you. That seemed to work fine when I was in school. Now we have gotten way too "zero toleranced" out.

But as long as a school is "forced" on kids, then they need to be able to dispense the meds.

That's YOU.


Who brought you that? You want it both ways- and you can't have it.

Economies of scale don't work for educating and caring for kids- and thats going to cost you.

Vote for a huge tax increase and then we'll talk. And cut the over-regulating line, it lost on me once you bring up abortion.

The fact of the matter is that 'regulation' that gets you yours is good for everyone, but if it gets in your way, its the moral police.

If you get schooling away from government and make it a private business where there is competition you could do more without paying as much.

Forget the huge tax increase. It shouldn't cost what it does.
