An Act relating to seizure disorders in schools

This bill requires public and private schools in Massachusetts to ensure that at least one employee at each school is trained to administer seizure rescue medication or use a Vagus Nerve Stimulator magnet for students with seizure disorders. It mandates that all school staff who interact with students receive training on recognizing seizure symptoms and providing first aid, with registered nurses serving as a qualified alternative to other trained staff. The legislation also establishes a process for parents to provide written authorization and medication for their children, requires the creation of individualized seizure action plans, and mandates age-appropriate seizure education for all students. These requirements apply only to schools that currently have enrolled students with seizure disorders or prescribed seizure medications.
