Pupil health: School Medication Authorization Task Force.

Existing law requires the governing board of a school district to give diligent care to the health and physical development of pupils, and authorizes a governing board to employ properly certified persons for the work. This bill would establish the School Medication Authorization Task Force, consisting of 10 members who would be appointed by, and serve at the pleasure of, the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The bill would require the task force to provide specified advice regarding the administration of emergency medication to a pupil on a school campus and establish training and supervision standards regarding the administration of medical care in a school setting. The bill would require the task force to follow prescribed procedures relating to its operation.
