The School Nurse is responsible for delegating the administration of medications and procedures to other school staff when students are on field trips.

If a student needs medication including over-the-counter, non-prescription medication during the field trip, School Board Policy (#3350) requires written parent permission and a written order for the medication administration from the health care provider. The Overnight Field Trip Form must be completed and reviewed by the School Nurse before the trip, with sufficient time to obtain the necessary orders. The School Nurse will delegate the administration of the medication to a school staff person who is on the trip. Some medication (such as inhalers) may be self-administered depending on the age and developmental capacity of the student.
