Pleasants County Schools follows the state standards for administration of medication (WVDE Policy 2422.8) in West Virginia public school systems. Of particular importance are students who are prescribed LIFESAVING MEDICATIONS as detailed below in WVDE Policy 2422.7 10.1g. 10.1.g. Designated school personnel shall receive and review the emergency medication and medication authorization form and obtain authorization from the certified school RN to administer the medication. The student shall not attend school until both the administration form and medication are signed and received to prevent risking the safety and welfare of the student. The SAT, Section 504, or IEP team shall consider the lack of emergency lifesaving medication(s) as child neglect. If your child requires a rescue asthma inhaler, Epi-pen, glucagon, insulin, or seizure rescue medication at school, then the school nurse must receive the medication and the medication order form PRIOR to the first day of the new school year to ensure your child can attend school safely. A Medication Order Form can be downloaded and printed from the Pleasants County Schools website. Click “Departments” tab, then click “School Nurse” tab. Please complete the form with the assistance of your health care provider and return the form to the school nurse. The parent or guardian must also sign the form granting permission for the medication to be administered by school staff. If you have any questions, please contact the nurse at your child's school. Thank you.
