In accordance with the "Families’ Rights and Responsibilities Act," Public Chapter No. 1061 (effective July 1, 2024), minor students cannot receive medical care from the school nurse without the consent of a parent/legal guardian. This includes, but is not limited to, cleaning and bandaging minor cuts/abrasions, providing an ice pack, and/or managing injuries. If a parent/legal guardian does NOT provide consent to treat, the school nurse and/or any other school employee can only treat the student in the case of an emergency. All parents who decline to agree to the consent should be aware that any expenses related to the summoning of emergency medical personnel to treat an injury will be billable to the parent.
If you have any questions, please contact your school nurse or Tonya Garner at garnert@k12coffee.net.
