Board advances second reading and approves Policy 5330 changes on student medication
Summary
Trustees approved revisions to Policy 5330, brought by the corporation's head nurse, updating guidance on the use of medication including EpiPen procedures. The motion passed after a second; one trustee verbally opposed.
A second reading and vote on revisions to Policy 5330 (use of medication, including EpiPen procedures) took place at the Vincennes Community School Corp. meeting in June. A staff member said the corporation head nurse had requested the change and asked the board to approve the updated definitions and medication-use rules.
A board member moved to approve the policy changes and another member seconded the motion. During the roll-call prompt, one board member verbally stated opposition. The transcript records the opposition but does not provide a full roll-call tally; the board proceeded to the next agenda item after the vote.
The proposal was presented as a technical and safety-focused update to medication administration procedures in district schools. No amendments or additional conditions were recorded in the transcript.
