  • Margaret Wheeler: Berwick School Board Election Candidate Introductions

    To help our community make an informed choice at the polls, all candidates running for the Berwick School Board seats were invited to submit a brief personal introduction. Each candidate was asked to share who they are, their history in the community, and what motivates them to serve on the School Board. The statements below are presented as submitted. Thank you to our candidates for their willingness to serve the MSAD #60 community! "My name is Margaret (Peg) Wheeler. I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with an Associate's Degree in Veterinary Technology, a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science and one in Environmental Conservation, and a Master's Degree in Adult and Higher Education. I am also a master's level certified Career Coach and have certifications in Veterinary Burnout Prevention and have a national Veterinary Technician Education Specialty designation and have been awarded a Fellows through the Association of Veterinary Technician Educators. I currently serve on the Advisory Board for Penn Foster Animal Programs as well as Massasoit Community College Veterinary Technology Program and White Mountain Community College Veterinary Assistant Program. I am on the Maine State Society for Protection of Animals Board of Directors and I am currently the President Elect of the Maine Veterinary Technician's Association and the Chair of their Legislative Committee. I serve on the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America's Government Relations Committee and I am the Chair of their DEIB Committee. I also am the Chair of the national Association of Veterinary Technician Specialists in Education's Governing Group. I am currently the Campus Program Manager for Rarebreed Veterinary Partners as well as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Maine Augusta's Veterinary Technology Program. I have served 30 years in higher education and 50 years in veterinary medicine. Education is a passion of mine and working in higher ed at the University of New Hampshire, York County Community College, and the University of Maine, has given me a unique opportunity to see many MSAD60 grads in that environment and how they measure up to the level of preparation coming from other districts. We are almost always ahead of the curve and we should want to support that and continue to improve. My husband and I moved to Berwick in the late 80's and I started serving on PTAs and PTOs and sports boosters as my 3 kids went through the Noble system. I have also served locally as an elected municipal official for over 20 years, the first 6 as a selectwoman, the remaining on the school board. In addition, I served on the Recreation Committee, chaired the town festival committee, served on the police advisory committee and later helped set up and chaired the Berwick Enhanced Neighborhood Policing Committee, I served on the Library Committee, and chaired the Recycling Committee for many years. I am running again because I am very concerned about what the past few years of rhetoric is doing/has done to our system. For most of the years I sat on the board, observing board norms helped protect our board working environment but more importantly helped support the ability, the comfort level, the trust of teachers and community members who wanted to attend meetings and share experiences. The past three years have seen the degradation of that and as a result we are losing teachers/admin/staff who were key partners in supporting our students. And not only have we made the environment unsustainable for them, we have decimated our pool of candidates as there are plenty of options for these educated, talented professionals to go elsewhere. I'm serving in hopes that my voice can be one of bringing us back to a place of civility where parents are comfortable attending and bringing their children; where teachers/staff are comfortable coming to speak without worrying about facing backlash. I know we can't control everything that goes on online, but we can try to assure that members of the board are all committed to the board norms so that we can spend more time reviewing curriculum and supporting work that truly moves the district forward. Specifically, we have talked a lot about reading test scores and we are all thrilled to see what the new reading curriculum will do to support the work our teachers do, but I am a math geek and I teach medical math. This is an area of concern for almost every student we see in higher ed and I hope that we have time going forward to have conversations about our math programs and how the board can support that work that teachers do. And again, I hope to be part of a bigger effort to bring the board back to a more civil and collegial working environment. We have also talked about trying to be more immediately responsive to public comment, understanding that it cannot be a time for debate since the board does have a lot of work to be doing."

  • JICK-R Bullying- Administrative Procedure

    MAINE SCHOOL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION NEPN/NSBA Code: JICK-R BULLYING – ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE This procedure is intended as guidance for school administrators in carrying out their responsibilities when bullying is alleged to have occurred. It provides important definitions as well as steps for reporting, investigating and responding to allegations of bullying. Bullying behavior alleged to be based on race, color, ancestry, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, religion or disability should be addressed under the procedures set forth in the Student Harassment and Sexual Harassment procedure, ACAA-R, rather than under this procedure. Bullying Reports Students and Parents/Guardians Students who believe they have been bullied, or who have witnessed or learned about an act of bullying are strongly encouraged to report this behavior to a building administrator. Parents/guardians may report bullying on behalf of their children or when they have witnessed or are aware of the occurrence of bullying. Reports of bullying may be made anonymously, but no disciplinary action shall be taken against a student solely on the basis of an anonymous report. Any student who has been determined to have made a false report of bullying will be subject to disciplinary consequences. School Employees For the purposes of this procedure, “school employees” includes coaches, advisors for cocurricular or extracurricular activities and volunteers. All school employees are expected to intervene when they see acts of bullying in progress and are required to report incidents of bullying they have witnessed or become aware of to a building administrator as soon as practicable. School employees who fail to report bullying or who have made a false report of bullying will be subject to disciplinary consequences up to and including termination, in accordance with any applicable collective bargaining agreement. Others Contractors, service providers, visitors or community members who have witnessed or become aware of bullying are encouraged to report such incidents to a building administrator. Form of Reports Complaints or reports of bullying may be made orally or in writing, but all reports will be documented in writing by school personnel authorized to receive complaints or reports, using the school unit’s reporting form (JICK-E1). School employees are required to make reports of bullying to a building administrator in writing. Although students, parents and others, as identified above, may make bullying reports anonymously, all persons reporting incidents of bullying are encouraged to identify themselves. Bullying reports may be made anonymously, but in no instance will action be taken against any person or organization affiliated with the schools solely on the basis of an anonymous report. The building administrator will forward a copy of the report to the Superintendent by the end of the next school day. Interim Safety Measures The building administrator may take such interim measures as he/she deems appropriate to ensure the safety of the targeted student and prevent further bullying and will inform the parents of the targeted student of measures taken. Investigation The building administrator will ensure that all reports of bullying and retaliation are investigated promptly and that documentation of the investigation, including the substance of the complaint or report and the outcome of the investigation is prepared and forwarded to the Superintendent within a reasonable period of time. The determination of whether particular conduct constitutes bullying requires reasonable consideration of the circumstances, which include the frequency of the behavior at issue, the location in which the behavior occurs, the ages and maturity of the students involved, the activity or context in which the conduct occurs, and the nature and severity of the conduct. Response to Bullying by Students If bullying has been substantiated, the building principal or designee as appropriate under the circumstances will determine the appropriate disciplinary consequences, which may include detention, suspension or expulsion; alternative discipline; remediation; and/or other intervention. Alternative discipline includes but is not limited to: A. Meeting with the student and the student’s parents; B. Reflective activities, such as requiring the student to write an essay about the student’s misbehavior; C. Mediation when there is mutual conflict between peers, rather than one-way negative behavior, and when both parties freely choose to meet; D. Counseling; E. Anger management; F. Health counseling or intervention; G. Mental health counseling; H. Participation in skills building and resolution activities, such as social-emotional cognitive skills building, resolution circles and restorative conferencing; I. Community service; and J. In-school detention or suspension, which may take place during lunchtime, after school or on weekends. [NOTE: Items A-J are listed as examples of alternative discipline in 20-A § 6554(2)(A).] In order to remediate any substantiated incident of bullying to counter the negative impact of the bullying and reduce the risk of future bullying incidents, the building administrator may refer the targeted student/victim, perpetrator or other involved persons to counseling of other appropriate services. If the bullying behavior appears to be a criminal violation, the building administrator will notify local law enforcement authorities. If bullying has been substantiated, the building administrator will provide written notification to: A. The parents/guardians of the targeted student, including the measures being taken to ensure the student’s safety; and to B. The parents/guardians of the student found to have engaged in bullying, including the process for appeal. All communications to parents must respect the confidentiality of student and employee information as provided by federal and Maine law and regulations. Appeals Any appeal of the building administrator’s decisions in regard to consequences for bullying must be submitted, in writing, within 10 business days of the parental notification. The Superintendent will review the investigation report and actions taken and decide whether to sustain or deny the appeal. The Superintendent’s decision shall be final.

  • JICK

    NEPN/NSBA Code: JICK BULLYING It is the intent of the MSAD #60 Board of Directors to provide all students with an equitable opportunity to learn. To that end, the Board has a significant interest in providing a safe, orderly and respectful school environment that is conducive to teaching and learning. The Board believes that bullying, including cyberbullying, is detrimental to student well-being and to student learning and achievement. It interferes with the mission of the schools to educate their students and disrupts the operations of the schools. Bullying affects not only students who are targets but also those who participate in and witness such behavior. Bullying Prohibited Bullying, including cyberbullying, harassment and sexual harassment are not acceptable conduct in MSAD #60 and are prohibited. Retaliation for the reporting of incidents of such behavior is also prohibited. In adopting this policy, it is not the Board’s intent to prohibit students from expressing their ideas, including religious, political and philosophical views that may offend the sensibilities of others, or from engaging in civil debate. However, the Board does not condone and will take action in response to conduct that directly interferes with students’ rights at school under applicable laws or with the educational mission, operations, discipline or general welfare of the schools. Definitions Bullying Bullying is unwanted, intentional, and repeated aggressive behavior involving a real or perceived power imbalance, causing physical or emotional harm. A. Examples of conduct that may constitute bullying include, but are not limited to: Intentional and pervasive taunting, name-calling, belittling, mocking, put-downs, or demeaning humor; Behavior that is likely to harm someone by damaging his or her relationships/reputation with others, including but not limited to gossip, spreading rumors, and social isolation; Non-verbal threats and/or intimidations such as use of aggressive, menacing, or disrespectful gestures; Threats of harm to a student, to his/her possessions, or to other individuals, whether transmitted verbally or in writing; Blackmail, extortion, demands for protection money, or involuntary loans or donations; Blocking access to school property or facilities; Stealing or hiding books, backpacks, or other possessions; Stalking; and Physical contact or injury (not considered rising to the level of assault) to another person or his/her property. B. Interferes with the rights of a student by: Creating an intimidating or hostile educational environment for the student; or Interfering with the student’s academic performance or ability to participate in or benefit from the services, activities or privileges provided by the school; or C. Is based on: A student’s actual or perceived characteristics identified in 5 MRSA § 4602 or 4684-A (including race; color; ancestry; national origin; sex; sexual orientation; gender identity or expression; religion; physical or mental disability) or other distinguishing personal characteristics (such as socioeconomic status; age; physical appearance; weight; or family status); or A student’s association with a person with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics or any other distinguishing characteristics; and that has the effect described in subparagraph A. or B. above. D. For the purpose of this policy, bullying does not mean teasing, put-downs, talking trash, trading of insults, or similar interactions among friends, nor does it include expression of ideas or beliefs so long as such expression is not lewd, profane, or does not interfere with student's opportunity to learn, the instructional program, or the operations of the schools. This does not preclude teachers or school administrators from setting and enforcing rules for civility, courtesy, and/or responsible behavior in the classroom and the school environment. Under Maine law: Sexual orientation means a person’s actual or perceived heterosexuality, bisexuality, homosexuality, or gender identity or expression. Gender identity means gender-related identity, appearance, mannerisms, or other gender-related characteristics of an individual, regardless of the individual’s assigned sex at birth. Cyberbullying Cyberbullying means bullying through the use of technology or any electronic communication, including but not limited to, a transfer of signs, signals, writing, images, sounds, data or intelligence of any nature transmitted by the use of any electronic device including, but not limited to, a computer, telephone, cellular telephone, text messaging device. Page 2 of 5 NEPN/NSBA Code: JICK Examples of conduct that may constitute cyberbullying include, but are not limited to the following actions on any electronic medium (depending on the severity of cyberbullying, it may be necessary to involve law enforcement): 1. Posting slurs or rumors or displaying any defamatory, inaccurate, disparaging, violent, abusive, profane, or sexually oriented material about a student on a website, an app, in social media, or any other electronic platform; 2. Posting misleading or fake photographs or digital video footage of a student on websites or creating fake websites or social networking profiles in the guise of posing as the targeted student; 3. Impersonating or representing another student through the use of that other student’s electronic device or account to send e-mail, text messages, instant messages (IM), phone calls or other messages on a social media website; 4. Sending e-mail, text messages, IM, or leaving voice mail messages that are mean or threatening, or so numerous as to bombard the target’s e-mail account, IM account, or cell phone; and 5. Using a camera phone or digital video camera to take and/or send embarrassing or “sexting” photographs of other students. Retaliation Retaliation means an act or gesture against a student for asserting or alleging an act of bullying. Retaliation also includes reporting that is not made in good faith on an act of bullying. Application of Policy This policy applies to bullying that: A. Takes place at school or on school grounds, at any school-sponsored or school-related activity or event or while students are being transported to or from school or school-sponsored activities or events; or B. Takes place elsewhere or through the use of technology, but only if the bullying also infringes on the rights of the student at school as set forth in the definition of bullying. Consequences for Policy Violations Students Students who violate this policy may be subject to disciplinary action which may include suspension, expulsion or a series of graduated consequences including alternative discipline or other behavioral interventions. The Board retains the right to impose disciplinary consequences for bullying and other conduct that occurs at any time or place that substantially disrupts the instructional program, operations of the schools or welfare of students. Any student violating this policy may also be subject to civil or criminal penalties. Page 3 of 5 NEPN/NSBA Code: JICK School Employees and Others Administrators, professional staff and all other employees who violate this policy may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal, and in accordance with any applicable collective bargaining agreements. Volunteers, contractors and visitors who violate this policy will be barred from school property until the Superintendent is satisfied that the person will comply with Maine’s bullying law and this policy. Any person violating this policy may also be subject to civil or criminal penalties. Any school-affiliated organization that authorizes or engages in bullying or retaliation is subject to forfeiture of Board approval/sanctioning and/or suspension or revocation of its permission to operate on school grounds.

  • Mathew Roy: Berwick School Board Election Candidate Introductions

    To help our community make an informed choice at the polls, all candidates running for the Berwick School Board seats were invited to submit a brief personal introduction. Each candidate was asked to share who they are, their history in the community, and what motivates them to serve on the School Board. The statements below are presented as submitted. Thank you to our candidates for their willingness to serve the MSAD #60 community! "My name is Mathew Roy and I am running for the MSAD 60 School Board because I believe strong schools are built through accountability, thoughtful planning, community involvement, and keeping students at the center of every decision. My family and I have proudly called Berwick home since 2009. For the last 17 years, my wife and I have raised our three boys in this district and built our lives here. Through youth sports, scouting, mentoring, volunteering, supporting local teams through our business, and simply being active parents, I have had the opportunity to connect with many families throughout our community and gain a firsthand understanding of both the strengths and challenges facing our schools. Professionally, I have spent more than 27 years owning and operating businesses. Today my focus is Stoneage, a commercial hardscaping company serving communities throughout the eastern United States. My work requires leadership, budgeting, logistics, contract negotiation, project planning, staffing, safety compliance, and long term strategy. Those experiences have taught me how important communication, accountability, and responsible decision making are. I decided to run because I believe our district benefits from leadership that brings practical experience, listens to the community, and remains focused on outcomes. School board decisions affect students, staff, families, facilities, and taxpayers. Those decisions deserve thoughtful review, transparency, and long term planning. I believe education should prepare students for success in whatever path they choose. College, trades, military service, entrepreneurship, and workforce readiness all have value and students should be supported in reaching their goals. If elected, my focus will be supporting educational excellence, responsible budgeting, accessibility, and helping ensure our district continues creating opportunities for students while remaining accountable to families and the community. I believe parents, educators, administrators, board members, and community members all play an important role in student success. I care deeply about our schools and I want to contribute in a meaningful way to the future of MSAD 60. I would be honored to earn your support." Mathew Roy Candidate for MSAD 60 School Board

  • JLCD

    NEPN/NSBA Code:  JLCD ADMINISTERING MEDICATION TO STUDENTS The MSAD  #60  Board of Directors acknowledges that in certain instances it may be necessary for a student to have medication administered while at school.  Although the Board discourages the administration of medication on school premises when other options exist, it shall not deny educational opportunities to students requiring the administration of medication in order to participate in the school program and/or when there are no other options.  The intent of this policy is to promote the safe administration of medications to students by school personnel and to provide for authorization of student emergency self administration of medication from asthma inhalers and epinephrine autoinjectors.  This policy does not apply to medical marijuana, which is addressed in the Board’s policy JLCDA, Medical Marijuana in Schools. This policy authorizes the adoption of a “collaborative practice agreement” for the purposes of stocking and administering of epinephrine autoinjectors to any student during school or a school-sponsored activity under emergency circumstances involving anaphylaxis. Maine law permits school units to authorize the adoption of a “collaborative practice agreement” for the purposes of stocking and administering of epinephrine autoinjectors to students during school or a school-sponsored activity under emergency circumstances involving anaphylaxis (20-A MRSA § 6305). This enables the school nurse and designated school personnel who have been trained to administer this medication in accordance with Department of Education Rule Chapter 40 and have been “authorized” to do so to administer epinephrine autoinjectors to students who do not have a prescription. This policy also authorizes the adoption of a “collaborative practice agreement to provide for the possession and administration of naloxone hydrochloride or other noninjectable opioid overdose-reversing medication by the school nurse or designated trained school personnel to students, staff, or visitors during school or a school-sponsored activity or otherwise on school grounds in emergency circumstances involving an opioid overdose or apparent opioid overdose.  The Board encourages collaboration between parents/guardians and the schools in matters involving student medication.  The Board disclaims any and all responsibility for the diagnosis, prescription of treatment, and administration of medication for any student, and for any injury arising from a student’s self-administration of medication.  This policy authorizes the school unit and its schools to obtain a standing order for undesignated ready-to-use glucagon rescue therapies and permits the school nurse or designated trained unlicensed school personnel to administer glucagon rescue therapy to a student with a known diagnosis of diabetes if the student’s prescribed glucagon is not available on site or has expired. The glucagon must be stored in a secure location, immediately accessible to the school nurse and designated trained unlicensed school personnel, and maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions. I. DEFINITIONS  “Administration” means the provision of prescribed medication to a student according to the orders of a healthcare provider.  “Collaborative practice agreement” means a written and signed agreement between a physician licensed in Maine or a school health advisor, as defined in 20- A MRSA §6402-A, and a school nurse that provides for the prescription of epinephrine autoinjectors by the physician or school health advisor and administration of epinephrine injectors by the school nurse or designated school personnel to students during school or a school-sponsored activity under emergency circumstances involving anaphylaxis; or as defined in 20-A M.R.S.A.§ 6307 that provides for the prescription of naloxone by the physician or school health advisor and the administration of naloxone hydrochloride by the school nurse or designated school personnel to students, staff, or visitors during school or a school-sponsored activity or otherwise on school grounds under emergency circumstances involving an opioid overdose or apparent opioid overdose.   Page 1 of 7 NEPN/NSBA Code:  JLCD “Health care provider” means a medical/health practitioner who has a current license in the State of Maine with a scope of practice that includes prescribing medication.  “Indirect supervision” means the supervision of an unlicensed school staff member when the school nurse or other health care provider is not physically available on site but immediately available by telephone. “Medication” means prescribed drugs and medical devices that are controlled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and are ordered by a healthcare provider. It includes over-the-counter medications prescribed through a standing order by the school physician or prescribed by the student’s health care provider. For the purpose of this policy, “medication” includes epinephrine, naloxone hydrochloride and other noninjectable opioid overdose-reversing medications, and glucagon, but does not include medical marijuana “Parent” means a natural or adoptive parent, a guardian, or a person acting as a parent of a child with legal responsibility for the child’s welfare.  “School nurse” means a registered professional nurse with Maine Department of Education certification for school nursing.  “Self-administration” is when the student administers medication independently to him/herself under indirect supervision of the school nurse or designated unlicensed school personnel. “Unlicensed school personnel” are persons who do not have a professional license that allows them, within the scope of that license, to administer medication. “Designated school personnel” are unlicensed school personnel who have completed such training in administration of medication as may be required by Maine statutes or DOE rules and who have been authorized by the school nurse to administer medication. “Undesignated ready to-use glucagon rescue therapy” means a USDA-approved glucagon rescue therapy that does not require reconstitution for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia, in a dosage form that can be rapidly administered in an emergency, including prefilled injectable or nasally administered glucagon. “Unlicensed school personnel” are persons who do not have a professional license that allows them, within the scope of that license, to administer medication. II. ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION BY SCHOOL PERSONNEL A. Parent/Legal Guardian Written Request In the event that no alternative exists, the parent/legal guardian may request in writing that medication be administered to the student during the school day.  Such written request shall provide for an acknowledgment and agreement that unlicensed personnel may administer the medication as per the health care provider's instructions.  In addition, such a request shall indicate that information regarding the student’s medication may be shared with appropriate school personnel. The Parents may, if they so choose, reveal the reason (diagnosis) for the administration of medication.   Requests shall be valid for the current school year only. B. Health Care Provider’s Order All parental requests must be accompanied by a written order from the student’s health care provider substantiating the fact that the administration of a particular medication during the school day is necessary for the student’s health and attendance in school. Such order must include: Page 2 of 7 NEPN/NSBA Code:  JLCD 1. The student’s name; 2. Name of the medication 3. The dose; 4. The route of administration (e.g., tablets, liquid, drops); and 5. Time intervals for administration (e.g., every four hours, before meals); 6. Any special instructions; and 7. The name of the prescribing health care provider. It is the responsibility of the school nurse to clarify any medication order that he/she believes to be inappropriate or ambiguous. In accordance with Department of Education Rule Chapter 40 § 2(B), the school nurse may decline to administer a medication if he/she believes such administration would jeopardize student safety. In this case, the school nurse must notify the parent, the student’s health care provider and the school administrator (i.e., building principal or designated administrator).  C.  Renewal of Parent Permission Requests/Forms and Health Care Provider Orders  Written parental permission requests/forms and health care provider orders must be renewed at least annually. Health care provider orders must be renewed whenever there are changes in the order. D.  Delivery and Storage of Medication  The student’s parents shall deliver any medication to be administered by school personnel to the school in its original container and properly labelled. In the event that this is not practical, the parent must contact the school to make alternate arrangements.  No more than a 30-day (one month) supply of medication shall be kept at school, excluding inhalers and epinephrine autoinjectors. The parent is responsible for the replenishment of medication kept at school.  If the health care provider’s order/prescription is for a medication regulated by Schedule II of the Controlled Substances Act (21 USC §812) (e.g., Ritalin and Adderall) no more than a one week supply shall be kept at school.  The parent is responsible for notifying the school of any changes in or discontinuation of a prescribed medication that is being administered to the student at school. The parent must remove any medication no longer required or that remains at the end of the school year. The school nurse shall be responsible for developing and implementing procedures for the appropriate and secure storage of medications kept at school, and all medications shall be stored in accordance with this procedure.  E.  Recordkeeping  School personnel and the student’s parent shall account for all medication brought to school. The number of capsules, pills or tablets, and/or the volume of other medications brought to school shall be recorded.  School staff administering medication shall document each instance the medication is administered including the date, time, and dosage given.  The school nurse shall maintain a record including the parent’s request, physician’s order, details of the specific medications (including dosage and timing of medication), and documentation of each instance the medication is administered.  Records shall be retained according to the current State schedules pertaining to student health records. Page 3 of 7 NEPN/NSBA Code:  JLCD F.  Confidentiality  To the extent legally permissible, staff members may be provided with such information regarding medication and its administration as may be in the best interest of the student. G.  Administration of Medication  Medication may be administered during the school day by licensed medical personnel acting within the scope of their licenses.  The school nurse, under the administrative supervision of the Superintendent, will provide direction and oversight for the administration of medication to students.  All unlicensed personnel (principals, teachers, education technicians, school secretaries, coaches, bus drivers, etc.) who administer medication must receive training before being authorized to do so. Based upon the documentation of training and competency in the administration of medication, the school nurse will make recommendations to the Superintendent/designee pertaining to authorization of unlicensed persons to administer medication. Training that shall be acceptable for the purpose of authorization of unlicensed personnel is addressed under the section of this policy titled “Required Training of Unlicensed Personnel to Administer Medication.”  H. Administration of Medication During Off-Campus Field Trips and School-Sponsored Events The school will accommodate students requiring administration of medication during field trips or school-sponsored events as follows:  The school nurse, principal, and, as appropriate, the school unit’s Section 504 Coordinator and/or IEP, will determine whether an individual student’s participation is contraindicated due to the unstable/fragile nature of his/her health condition, the distance from emergency care that may be required, and/or other extraordinary circumstances. The student’s parent and primary care provider will be consulted in making this determination. The decision will be made in compliance with applicable laws, including the IDEA, § 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).  The parent must provide the appropriate number of doses needed for the duration of the field trip or school-sponsored event.  When there are no contraindications to student participation, an appropriately trained staff member will be assigned to administer medication. The parent will be encouraged to accompany the student, if possible, to care for the student and administer medication.  All provisions of this policy shall apply to medications to be administered during off-campus field trips and school-sponsored events. As practicable, the DOE’s “Procedure for Medication Administration on School Field Trips” will be followed. I. Student Self-Administration of Asthma Inhalers and Epinephrine Autoinjectors Students with allergies or asthma may be authorized by the building principal, in consultation with the school nurse, to possess and self administer emergency medication from an epinephrine auto injector or asthma inhaler during the school day, during field trips, school-sponsored events, or while on a school bus. The student shall be authorized to possess and self-administer medication from an epinephrine auto injector or asthma inhaler if the following conditions have been met.  Page 4 of 7 NEPN/NSBA Code:  JLCD 1. The parent (or student, if 18 years of age or older) must request in writing authorization for the student to self-administer medication from an epinephrine auto injector or asthma inhaler.  2. The student must have the prior written approval of his/her primary health care provider and, if the student is under the age of 18, the prior written approval of his/her parent/guardian. The written notice from the student’s primary care provider must specify the name and dosage of the medication, frequency with which it may be administered, and the circumstances that may warrant its use. 3. The student’s parent/guardian must submit written verification to the school from the student’s primary care provider confirming that the student has the knowledge and the skills to safely possess and use an epinephrine auto injector or asthma inhaler.  4. The school nurse shall evaluate the student’s technique to ensure proper and effective use of an epinephrine auto injector or asthma inhaler taking into account the maturity and capability of the student and the circumstances under which the student will or may have to self-administer the medication.  5. The parent will be informed that the school cannot accurately monitor the frequency and appropriateness of use when the student self-administers medication, and that the school unit will not be responsible for any injury arising from the student’s self-medication.  Authorization granted to a student to possess and self-administer medication from an epinephrine auto injector or asthma inhaler shall be valid for the current school year only and must be renewed annually.  A student’s authorization to possess and self-administer medication from an epinephrine auto injector or asthma inhaler may be limited or revoked by the building principal after consultation with the school nurse and the student’s parents if the student demonstrates an inability to responsibly possess and self-administer such medication.  To the extent legally permissible, staff members may be provided with such information regarding the student’s medication and the student’s self administration as may be in the best interest of the student.  Sharing, borrowing, or distribution of medication is prohibited. The student’s authorization to self-administer medication may be revoked and the student may be subject to disciplinary consequences for violation of this policy. J. Administration of Glucagon Rescue Therapy  The school nurse or designated trained unlicensed school personnel may administer undesignated ready-to-use glucagon rescue therapy to a student with a known diagnosis of diabetes, as specified in the student’s Individual Health Plan (IHP)/Diabetes Care Plan, if the student’s prescribed glucagon is not available on site or has expired. Glucagon therapy may be administered in school buildings, on school grounds, playground, on school buses as well as on field trips or school-sponsored excursions.  The plan will include a current school year written request/permission and acknowledgment that glucagon rescue therapy may be administered by unlicensed school personnel.  The school will provide an emergency action plan to a school employee who transports a student for school-sponsored activities. The emergency action plan must identify the student with diabetes, the potential emergencies that may occur as the result of the student’s diabetes and provide the school’s emergency contact information and diabetes care plan.  Immediately after the administration of glucagon rescue therapy to a student, a school employee must call for emergency assistance, notify the school nurse, and follow the emergency action plan. Page 5 of 7 NEPN/NSBA Code:  JLCD K. Dispensation of Over-the-Counter Medications With prior written parent permission, students may receive certain over the counter medications at school, e.g., Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Tums, cough drops, etc. pursuant to a standing order from the school physician/school health advisor. L. Sunscreen  Students may possess and self-administer topical sunscreen without a signed order from a health care provider under the following conditions:  1. Sunscreen is to be in its original container, labeled with directions of use and warnings. Because it may adversely affect students with asthma and/or allergies, aerosol and spray sunscreens will not be allowed in schools.  2. The student must have written permission from his/her/their parent.  3. School nurse or other school personnel may inspect sunscreen product for safety and proper FDA labeling.  4. There is no expectation that school staff will apply sunscreen to students.  5. There is no expectation that the school will supply sunscreen to all students.  6. A student who is unable to physically apply sunscreen may be assisted by school personnel when directed to do so by the student, if permitted by a parent or guardian and authorized by the school. M. Required Training of Unlicensed Personnel to Administer Medication  Unlicensed school personnel who administer medication to students in a school setting (at school, on school transportation to or from school, on field trips, or during school-sponsored events) must be trained in the administration of medication before being authorized to carry out this responsibility. Such training must be provided by a registered professional nurse or physician and include the components specified in Department of Education Rules Chapter 40 and other applicable Department of Education standards, recommendations, programs, and/or methodologies.  The trainer shall document the training and competency of unlicensed school personnel to administer medication. Based upon a review of the documentation of training and competency in the administration of medication, the school nurse will make recommendations to the Superintendent/designee pertaining to authorization of such unlicensed personnel pertaining to authorization to administer medication.  Following the initial training, a training review and information update must be held at least annually for those unlicensed school personnel authorized to administer medication.  L.        Delegation and Implementation  The Superintendent/designee shall be responsible for developing administrative procedures and/or protocols to implement or supplement this policy. Such procedures/protocols shall include direction regarding: 1. Safe transport of medication to and from school; 2. Administration of medication during field trips and school sponsored events;  3.
