College Station ISD changes medication policy for upcoming school year

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) - College Station ISD is changing its medication policy for the 2024-2025 school year.

The Texas Board of Nursing provided guidance to school nurses regarding administering medication to students.

This includes common items like Tylenol and Ibuprofen and is in effect for all College Station ISD campuses.

Here are the most up-to-date district medication forms:

• Prescription Medication Authorization Form
