CSISD Families,
The State Board of Nursing has clarified that nurses in any setting are restricted from administering medications without provider orders.
A parent permission note is not sufficient per the Texas State Board of Nursing to allow school nurses to administer medication to a student at school (prescription or over-the-counter medications).
School nurses can not administer prescription medication or over the counter medication without proper provider documentation/orders from a medical provider.
All medication that any CSISD nurse is to administer to a student must have provider orders to do so in the future.
Please contact your campus school nurse starting July 29th, 2024, with any questions or concerns.
Thank you.
CSMS Administration
