The Pullman School District Board reviewed a new required policy, 3425, to accommodate students with adrenal insufficiency. Staff said the policy implements Substitute House Bill 1709 and the statutory requirements contained in RCW 28A.210.358.
District staff explained the law permits parent-designated adults to assist in care of students with adrenal insufficiency under defined training and reporting requirements. Staff described the policy as similar in approach to existing procedures for diabetes and seizure disorders, with the training requirements for designated adults being the main difference.
The district’s lead nurse, Michelle Hyatt, reviewed the policy and reported no recommended changes. Staff said the accompanying administrative procedure sets out operational details for training and documentation.
No vote was taken; the board discussed the draft policy and staff noted they could answer any technical or clinical questions or refer board members to the lead nurse for further detail.
