Medication Procedures:
Lakewood Schools has adopted medication procedures in compliance with the Ohio Revised Code. These procedures have been designed for the safety of all students. Prescription and over-the-counter medications are handled in the same manner.
Administration of medication to students will be available to those who complete the following:
1. Parent must complete the Release of Medical Liability form.
2. Doctor must complete and sign section II of the form.
3. Medication needs to be brought to the school Health Center in the original container by an adult.
All medications will be dispensed from the Health Center with the exception of inhalers and Epi-pens. These emergency medicines should be with the students for immediate use. Both inhalers and epi-pens require the same medication procedure and paperwork outlined above.
