Bryan ISD school board members approve a policy change at their last meeting (December 16) requiring parents to have a doctor’s note for school nurses to give their children over the counter medicine.

Assistant superintendent Kevin Beesaw said that follows a requirement by the state agency that licenses nurses.

Superintendent Ginger Carrabine told board members that the BISD’s nurses implemented the policy change before the start of the fall semester.

Carrabine and deputy superintendent Brian Merrell also shared how administrators are addressing students who are in possession of over the counter medicine given to them by their parents.

BISD board members were also told that the policy change was already in effect in College Station ISD.
