Summary: Staff has prepared revisions to the following Board Policy and Administrative Rule as required by newly approved legislation and as a recommended corrective action by the California Department of Education Verification Review. BP 5141.21 is a new policy. AP 5141.21 is being updated as to the administration of medication to students persuant to EC 49414.5, 49423, and 49423.1. Persuant to EC 49423, as amended by SB 1069 (ch.512, statutes of 2010), a student may now be assisted by a school nurse or other designated school personnel to take, during the school day, not only medication prescribed for him/her by a physician, but also medication ordered for him/her by a physician assistant as defined in Business and Professional Code 3501. AR 5141.21 was last revised October 28, 2008.
