I came across this today while browsing my supply catalog and getting things ordered for next year. Any of you familiar with this? I would love to be able to utilize this, as we do not have facilities in place for me to dispose of medications that are not picked up by parents at the end of the year. I'm in Ohio, and I'm trying to research now whether this is something I can use. I'm hoping you guys will have some experience with them too ?

Same. Unless student is 18. then they can sign up on any meds.
I also waste at a local police department for non pick-ups (or if parent wants me to waste). I have my boss sign off that I wasted for myself as well.

We don't allow our students to transport meds to or from school. A parent must drop it off and pick it up. Too much liability and worry about who may get their hands on it. Students that keep epi and inhalers in their possession have an entirely different set of paperwork filled out, in order to be able to do that and even then I worry.
