Board approves policy batch but pulls medication administrative rule for revision
Summary
Trustees approved a first-read policy batch from OSBA but directed administrators to pull and revise a medication-related administrative rule citing practical and safety concerns, including CPR and medication-storage requirements.
The board considered a batch of policy first reads sourced from the Oregon School Boards Association and discussed administrative-rule language related to medication and student health.
Board members raised practical concerns about current medication procedures in the proposed administrative rule — for example, whether staff should be required to carry full medication bottles on field trips, how backup medication is secured in classrooms, and whether staff administering medications must hold current CPR/AED certification. Trustees asked administration to revise the medication administrative rule to reflect practical constraints and safety steps; administrators acknowledged they will refine that portion and return it for review.
A motion was made and seconded to approve the rest of the policy batch while pulling the medication administrative rule and related policies for additional work. The motion passed on a roll-call vote. Administrators said the medication rule will be edited before the next meeting and that they will consult licensure and delegation laws when drafting the revisions.
