Proper Disposal of Medications

~At the end of the school year notify parents/guardians if there is excess medication
~If they do not pick the medication up before the office closes for the summer dispose of it safely
~Dispose of medication as directed by local health department. If occasional drugs are flushed dispose with another staff member present.
~Auto injectors should be sealed in a container, such as a pop bottle and placed into a trash bin that is not accessible to children
