The details
According to a district news release, Keller ISD nursing staff have administered over-the-counter medication supplied by a student’s parent/guardian for less than 10 days with only parent/guardian consent needed. But beginning in the 2024-25 school year, over-the-counter medications given by the district’s nursing staff will require both parent/guardian consent and a physician authorization.
Zooming in
The news release states all medications require a physician’s authorization annually, including over-the-counter and prescription medications.
