Minnesota Guidelines for Medication Administration in Schools

The goal of the Minnesota Guidelines for Medication Administration in Schools (Minnesota Guidelines) is to increase the safe and efficacious administration of medications to students in schools by providing crucial information. As the Centers for Disease Control note (Wheeler, 2004, p. 1), the benefits of meeting the needs of students with chronic health conditions include “better attendance, improved alertness and physical stamina, fewer symptoms, fewer restrictions on participation in physical activities and special activities, such as field trips, and fewer medical emergencies.”
