Do medication orders extend through summer school?
Physician orders for medications should be renewed annually (page 5 of the Administration of Medication in the School Setting Guidelines). Please check your local district policy regarding medication order renewal and summer school. It may be advantageous to add a statement to your medication permission form that states that a medication order is valid for the school year and summer school as needed (it may be late to add this notation for this year, but it could be added for subsequent years).
