The District’s present policy no longer conforms to present rulings by the State Department of Education. Accordingly, the changes to our present policy are being provided to you. This policy deals generally with all of the grading and assessment systems utilized by the Department of Instruction.

3. Revisions to the JLCD – Assisting Students with Medicines – Final

Reading (Dr. Hewett)

Many students attending school have health conditions which require health care services during the school day and at school sponsored functions. The SC Board of Nursing Advisory Opinion #51 allowed school nurses to train, determine competency, and evaluate the unlicensed school personnel to perform certain medical task usually performed by the nurse. Additionally, the SC Code of Laws, Section 40-33-442, pertains to task that may be assigned to unlicensed school personnel. The South Carolina Code of Laws was amended to include Sections 59-63-80 and 59-63-90. The amendment requires that students with special health care needs have individual health care plans. The policy ensures compliance by authorizing the student to self-medicate and self-monitor unless there is sufficient evidence that unsupervised self-monitoring or self-medicating would jeopardize the safety of the student or others. The administration has reviewed District Policy JLCD, and is recommending the additions so that our policy for Assisting Students with Medicines reflects clarification of the policy.
