Yes, by delegation from an LSN/RN and the student’s 504 plan, IEP, or IHP. The LSN/RN will train and supervise the person to whom the medication administration is delegated. If the school has no nurse on staff, school policies and sound medical procedures must be developed in adherence to Minnesota Statutes § 121A.22, subd. 4.
