Title

Minors, parent or guardian of student with seizure disorder may seek care for student while at school, Secs. 16-30C-1, 16-30C-2 added

Description

Under existing law, a parent or guardian of a student with diabetes who seeks care for the student while the student is at school must submit an individual health plan to provide guidance to school officials on the student's care.

This bill would provide that a parent or guardian of a student with a seizure disorder may seek care for the student while the student is at school or participating in a school-sponsored activity by submitting a seizure management and treatment plan to the local board of education.

This bill would also require a school nurse employed by a local board of education and a school employee, other than a school nurse, whose job duties include regular contact with students to complete an online training course approved by the State Board of Education on seizure disorders.
