Klein school personnel are not permitted to give medication of any kind, including analgesics, similar preparations, or any other drugs, unless the parent requests in writing that there is a need for such medication and the parent provides the medication. If the circumstances are questionable, the school employee reserves the right to deny the parent's request. Students will be scheduled to come to the clinic for medicines. Due to the large number of medicine administrations each day, a request to administer medication may result in lost instructional time each day. When administering prescription medicines, the school district would prefer to have a written statement from a physician or dentist licensed to practice in the United States. Information, however, placed on a prescription label, if it is precise and clear to the school nurse, may be substituted for the above-noted statement. The prescription must be filled by a pharmacist licensed to practice in the United States. If prescription medicine is required, it must be in its original container, kept in locked storage in the office of the school nurse or of the principal's designee, and administered by the nursing staff or a school employee. The school may accept a sufficient quantity of medicine for one month. All prescription medications must be brought to the clinic and picked up at the clinic by a parent or guardian. Upon receipt, the medicine will be inventoried and discrepancies reported to parents. Only prescription medication needed for the student to remain in school will be administered. No vitamins, health food, or herbal preparations will be given by the school nurse. The above is not intended to prevent a student from having in his or her possession and taking analgesics, allergy tablet, or other similar non-prescription medication during the school day. The medication must be in its original container. It is strongly recommended that the student go to the clinic or nurse's office, since he consumption of pills in any form during the school day or on the school campus increases the likelihood of a student being mistakenly charged with a violation of the district's policy on drug abuse. Medication with limited duration will be administered for the time prescribed on the label, and any leftover medicine not picked up by the parent will be destroyed after two weeks.

It is important for emergency numbers to be provded to the clinic and to be kept current. Students are not allowed to leave campus without first obtaining parental permission.
