[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 175104, member: 23"] I don't think this should be a teacher's responsibility. I may be mistaken, but I think most state regs address this issue. In our district, kids can't take any type of medication to school -- including cough drops or other over-the-counter medications. The medications that are taken in by the parents must be in the original bottle. For OTC medications, they must have a prescription written by the doctor. The nurse keeps all medications in a locked cabinet. Although inconvenient sometimes, e.g., getting an Rx for asprin, I have to give the sd kudos for their procedures in this regard. [/QUOTE]
