Phoenix Academy recognizes that under certain
circumstances it will be necessary for students to take medication
during school hours or after school hours while participating
in extra-curricular activities or
tutorials. The General Statutes permit public school
employees, when given the authority by the Board, to administer
medication prescribed by a doctor upon written request of the
parent/guardian. The Board authorizes school system personnel
to administer medications in the case of a student who has a chronic
health problem, or a student with an unusual health problem where
emergency measures may be required.
School staff may administer medication to students
at school only if the health care provider deems it necessary
for the medication to be given during the school hours and if
a parent/guardian requests it in writing. Medication shall be
administered in accordance with the health care provider's instructions
and established written procedures. No drugs may be administered
without documentation from the health care provider.
The school will assume no responsibility for students
who self-medicate or for the transportation of medication to and/or
from school.
The school, its personnel and the Board
will assume no liability for complications or side effects of
medications when administered in accordance with the instructions
provided by the parent/guardian and health care provider.
