Medication Administration Policy
Standing Order Medication
Central Bucks School District has a medication policy that permits our licensed nurses to administer over-the-counter medication to students through standing orders written by the district's contracted medical director. Prior to administration, annual parent/guardian permission is required by completing the Annual Student Information Update. Standing order medications include but are not limited to Acetaminophen (Tylenol), Ibuprofen (Motrin), Diphenhydramine (Benadryl), and Calcium Carbonate (Tums), cough drops, triple antibiotic cream, Caladryl, Visine, and throat spray.
Individual Order Medication
The Central Bucks School District's medication policy requires authorization from both a parent/guardian and a physician for individual medication orders. In Pennsylvania, licensed nurses cannot administer medication without written instructions from a physician. Please use the form below, have it completed by your child's physician, and remember to sign and date it as the parent/guardian. Once completed, submit the form to the health office nurses. All medications must be delivered in person to the school health office and picked up at the end of the school year.
